Overall level of statistical capacity (scale 0 - 100)
The value for Overall level of statistical capacity (scale 0 - 100) in South Africa was 81.11 as of 2020. As the graph below shows, over the past 16 years this indicator reached a maximum value of 91.11 in 2007 and a minimum value of 72.22 in 2012.
Definition: The Statistical Capacity Indicator is a composite score assessing the capacity of a country’s statistical system. It is based on a diagnostic framework assessing the following areas: methodology; data sources; and periodicity and timeliness. Countries are scored against 25 criteria in these areas, using publicly available information and/or country input. The overall Statistical Capacity score is then calculated as a simple average of all three area scores on a scale of 0-100.
