I.6
Existence of mechanisms that guarantee Afrodescendants’ full participation in the production of official statistics.

Definition:

Existence of a mechanism at the national level that guarantees full participation by Afrodescendent populations in the production of official statistics.

Disaggregation:

Not applicable.

Notes:

The criteria used to operationally define “full participation” need to be agreed on. Nonetheless, the spirit of this indicator is that it can be reported if the mechanism considers deliberative participation, in other words if it enables representatives of Afrodescendent peoples to make decisions. Participation must be at all stages, from design of the instruments to collection, processing and analysis of data. These conceptual and operational agreements should be defined in conjunction with Afrodescendent peoples’ organizations
