4. Discussion and Conclusion
In this paper external and internal factors impacting the governance model
have been evaluated towards improving the quality in the NSS. The factors
taken into consideration, presents direct impact into the quality of statistical
production. The new Law in Official statistics and the new governance of the
institution have improved dimensions of quality, such as Professional
independence, Coordination and cooperation, Mandate for Data Collection
and Access to Data, Adequacy of human and financial Resources.
To achieve the required quality, the NSS should build a model that
empowers law, decision making, human resources, communication and the
satisfaction of users and staff. Using the model suggested in this paper is
concluded that if there is any improvement in one of the above factors, the
target quality can be improved.
Qualitative and reliable statistics are very important in the decision-
making process at national and local level as well as towards the process of
European integration. The enhancement of collaboration and strengthening
of NSS will bring direct impact on the production of SDG indicators.
To continue the work of strengthening the NSS, INSTAT should build a
developing strategy to support INSTAT and the other statistical agencies in
defining strategic objectives for the development of official statistics and
synergies among public bodies involved in statistical production or
administrating data. In defining this strategy, the results of this paper need to
be taken into consideration for development and establishing coordination
mechanisms with data users and producers.
