Presentation outline

What is meant by emerging databases?

How do the Observatory’s databases take advantage from
other databases to achieve its dashboard of Human
development indicators?

How can the Observatory’s emerging database
measure human development?

How can the Observatory develop other emerging databases?
Emerging databases
• International :
WB– UNDP– WHO
With their limits (different data collection methods,
surveys, census, periodicity, non-unified data
sources...)
• National :
The Observatory of HD (Albacharia, Information
System, GIS, Household Panel Survey), MASSAR
Project (6.500.000 students and 300.000 teachers) etc.
How do the Observatory’s databases take advantage from other
databases?
 Data collection and updating
 Valorisation by creating a Dashbord of human development
 Classification of performances by theme in 4 classes (represented in chart below)
 Cartographic presentation (Map below).
How can the Observatory’s emerging database measure human
development?
Centralization and consolidation of structured and standardized information on HD
 8000 targeted households.
 Measuring annual changes in the
main HD dimensions.
 Studying poverty dynamics.
 Build up a HD indicators database for
standard reference.
Household
Panel
 Territorial base unit : municipality
 Georeferenced activities and
institutions,
 Different HD topics included
 Thematic maps
 HD synthetic maps
Dashboard
 Internationally-oriented,
 Fact sheets by topic of analysis,
 National and international vision of
the performances of Morocco
 Four performance classes (low,
medium, good, very good).

Multi search engine
Extension to national and
international networks
Territorial Information System
Georeferencing (geographic coordinates) locations of the main human
development projects and collecting data related to these projects.
How can the Observatory’s emerging database measure human
development?
Advantages of the Observatory’s databases :
• Free access in different languages
• Availability and reliability of a complete information
• Multidimensional approach
• Diversification of HD topics
• International, national and territorial coverage (even sub-municipal)
• Mapping and development of HD profils
• Information on and treatment of different phenomenons related to HD
(school dropout, poverty,…)
• Analysis and evaluation of the supply and demand for basic services
 Constraints
• New qualifications integrating data mining and computing
• Analysis and results interpretation capacities : « to question the data »
How can the Observatory develop other emerging
databases?
New perspectives :
Unleash and use available data (Open-Data)
• «Master Class » : First step in building up the Open data
• Setting up a collaborative platform to facilitate the exchange of
information between data providers and users in order to make
available the collected but not used information by the classical data
collection systems.
• Developing and using emerging databases require new computing
skills and tools associated with powerful and adaptative analysis
methods.
• The role of networking is essential to knowledge sharing and
experience exchange with key partners on innovative tools and
approaches (CONEVAL, United Nations Agencies, the National
Library, national and foreign universities, evaluation associations,
local and regional actors and other stakeholders).
