The background of the presentation will be in form of the challenges/gaps that are faced by NSOs in obtaining quality administrative data for some statistics especially disaggregated by all required aspects. It will also touch on the level of engagement of the NSO in processing of microdata within government entities. The presentation will also describe the status of data use and impact within the government and beyond and if there is a means of measuring data use. It will outline the performance contracting process in Kenya and some of the performance indicators currently used to assess performance of government entities. I will make a proposal of how data provision by state entities and data use can be integrated as indicators or part of indicators within the performance contracting process in Kenya and as a best practice for other countries.
