地方统计数据对千年发展目标地方化至关重要

Local Statistics Are Crucial to Localizing the MDGs

为实现<千年宣言>中有关贫民窟的目标所做的贫民窟与其它城市贫困群体的街区和家庭一级的统计数据工作目前还做的不够.这是由于国家的统计报告对他们从所有城市家庭中收集出来的数据进行了平均化,不考虑家庭的贫富状况取出一个平均数,在贫困程度、教育、健康、就业与人类住区状况等问题上提供单一的测算数据.

Efforts are not enough to gather street and household-level statistics in slums and other urban pockets of poverty to implement the slum target of the Millennium Declaration. Local policy needs to be guided by statistics that reflect the reality of their situation. But, there is a real danger that more attention is given to improving monitoring of service provision to serve the requirements of national governments and international agencies than to developing the local data collection which is needed to support the achievement of MDGs at the local level. This article briefly presents that local statistics are crucial to localizing the MDGs.
