f. Encourage national authorities to devise mechanisms for assessing the effectiveness of the statistical system and its products using data quality assessment frameworks, including use of peer review processes.
g. Support Government and the Lead donor in producing annual progress reports on NSDS implementation that assess inputs, outputs, and results and suggest improvements for the future; this is part of the work plan for the Statistics Thematic Group.
