The Ministry of Development Planning and Statistics
What is the role of the Ministry of Development Planning and Statistics? One of the most important responsibilities in the State falls into the hands of Qatar’s highly competent PSA. The ministry takes charge in overseeing the overall vision for the country, working hand-in-hand with the various relevant authorities in order to further develop Qatar in a variety of aspects.
The Planning and Statistics Authority is responsible for the preparation of national development strategies as well as in following up its implementation. The planning processes and development projects all need to be in line with the state budget with efficient implementation plans. It takes charge of establishing an integrated statistical system, as well as in conducting and organizing formal statistical operations, censuses, surveys, and the dissemination of statistical data and products.
The PSA’s vision is to lead national efforts in order to make the lofty aspirations of Qatar National Vision 2030 a reality. The goal of these development strategies is to create a sustainable development plan to uplift the standards of living for all citizens. The PSA also functions in providing planned technical support for the implementation of these strategies. Along with a healthy promotion of both national and international partnerships, responsibilities include a heavy investment in workers, a commitment to excellence regarding quality frameworks, consistency in optimizing planning methodologies, and pursuing institutional development best practices all with transparency and accountability in all dealings and data.
Professional, objective, and accurate, the PSA’s data and statistical analyses provide a solid empirical foundation for the formulation of better policies for the country. In line with the Qatar National Vision 2030, the relevant statistical subjects include:
