THE PHASES OF THE ESA FOR AUSTRALIA INITIATIVE
The development of a list of essential statistical assets alone would be unable to address all of the objectives. Accordingly, the initiative has a broader scope with four distinct phases:
- Phase 1 – Developing the 2013 list of Essential Statistical Assets for Australia
- Phase 2 – Assessing the quality of the assets present on the list of Essential Statistical Assets for Australia
- Phase 3 – Developing a list of Essential Statistical Infrastructure
- Phase 4 – Identifying and pursuing future investment priorities
While this paper focuses primarily on the outcome of phase 1 of the initiative, the 2013 list of ESA for Australia, further information on phases 2–4 of the initiative are available in the section
Next phases of the ESA for Australia initiative.
