Throughout 2010, the center aims to track upwards of 400 indicators from six fields, and over 700 reports are planned for issuance this year alone, said Butti Ahmed Mohammed Al Qubaisi, Director-General of SCAD, and Khalid Al Hashemi, Director of Strategy and Development, while briefing media on the purpose of the statistical organisation, its plans for the future and the work it is currently undertaking in setting up a complete statistical system for the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
In 2014, Al Qubaisi said, once SCAD was tracking all of the indicators it intends to, the center will issue nearly 1,700 reports per annum.
“We expect the data we provide in these reports will be of great benefit to the executive council and other branches of government, academics, small business owners, large business owners, investors and the general public,” said Hashemi.
“The purpose of SCAD is to set new standards for statistics in Abu Dhabi,” said Al Qubaisi.
“To be effective, SCAD must operate freely to ensure there is no bias within its reports. We provide the same information and data to the private sector and individuals as we provide back to the government of Abu Dhabi,” said Al Qubaisi.
“The Government’s ambitious policy agenda and 2030 vision require reliable statistics to support them as policy decisions are made on economic diversification, social development and infrastructure,” Al Hashemi said. “Our purpose is not to promote or defend a given policy, but rather to enable both the public and private sector to use the data we provide to understand the impact of that policy.
“Our greatest challenge, however, will be ensuring that the wealth of information we provide is properly understood by the recipients. We’re building a culture of statistical analysis from the ground up.”
