Commitment

Ensuring better availability of microdata

Government / Burkina Faso

March 2025 — December 2028

Description

The Burkina Faso government, through the Ministry of Health, with the support of its partners (General Directorate of Studies and Sector Statistics [DGESS] of the ministries concerned, all sectoral focal points, National Institute of Statistics and Demography [INSD], UNICEF, GIZ), is committed to improving the analytical capacities of the National Information Platform for Nutrition (NIPN) by ensuring easy access and better availability of sectoral microdata. This will increase from an availability of 20 in 2024 to 35 in 2028. To achieve this, these actions must be implemented:

• Re-map existing microdata from routine systems and sector surveys.

• Update the microdata mapping annually.

• Establish partnerships with data-holding structures (ministries, agencies, nongovernmental organisations, research institutes, etc.).

• Develop a protocol for exchanging and sharing data with stakeholders.

• Advocate with the various structures producing nutrition-related data.

Progress will be monitored annually through the nada platform: https://nada.nutrition.bf/
