    Background:
Saudi Arabia has realized and sustained, for the last four decades, remarkable progress along the socio-economic development path. As a result of this, the Kingdom has been able to move to a high-income country.

The GDP, for instance, increased from SR 156 billion in 1969 to SR 2,631 billion in 2018, putting the economy among the top 20 global economies in terms of size.

Based on the annual ranking of the Human Development Index (HDI) of the Human Development Report, Saudi Arabia has steadily moved from the medium human development category in the 1990s to the very high human development category in 2018 at 0.857 value of HDI.

The Saudi Vision 2030 represents an ambitious resolve with long-term goals and expectations founded on the strengths and capabilities of the Kingdom

It covers three themes:
a) a vibrant society, b) a thriving economy and c) an ambitious nation.

A thorough review of the three themes and their underlying issues of national concern would reveal a holistic approach to development that encompasses the three dimensions of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): the social, the economic and the environmental.

Saudi Arabia recognizes that achieving the SDGs requires rigorous, real-time and continuous monitoring, for which quality statistics is a must.

The General Authority for Statistics (GaStat) has gone through a major revision of its corporate strategy and vision in alignment with the Saudi Vision 2030 and the SDGs.


The revised strategy revolves around five pillars:

  • Usage of statistics and information
  • Production of statistics and information
  • Application of advanced technologies in collecting and analyzing datasets
  • Communication and awareness towards statistical knowledge
  • Governance of the statistical sector


Under the framework of the Institutional Support to Statistics project, UNDP provides technical support to the GASTAT to strengthen the institutional and human capacities of the national statistical system to support evidence-based development planning and policy-making.


Within this context, UNDP is seeking to recruit an Economist to provide technical and advisory support to GaStat to enhance the management of financial accounts and support the improvement of the statistical business registers in compliance with SNA 2008.


Duties and Responsibilities:

The Expert of Non-profit institution's satellite accounts will provide technical assistance to support GASTAT in undertaking the Non-Profit Institutions Survey (NPIS) and compilation of satellite accounts of non-profit institutions. The Expert will also implement capacity-strengthening activities, including mentoring GASTAT staff.

He/ She will work under the supervision of General Manager for National Accounts and the project Chief Technical Advisor as a co-supervisor.

Specifically, the responsibilities under this assignment include the following:

Technical support:

  • Provide support to data collection and measurement activities of Non-Profit Institutions Survey, including survey design, sampling organization and survey administration (based on best practices and international standards on Non-Profit Institutions in the System of National Accounts).
  • Provide technical advice on the appropriate methodology, including developing the sampling framework, the process of selecting the sampling units, and the levels of representativeness required / sample size for the NPISA.
  • Review the objectives and scope of the surveys and develop/ revise the questionnaires in close consultations with the relevant staff and other technical experts at
    GASTAT.
  • Ensure the quality of collected data for accuracy, consistency and comparability and facilitate the dissemination of NPISA tables and the report.
  • Compile the nonprofit institution satellite account (NPISA)
  • Perform any other relevant tasks requested by the Supervisor.

  • Prepare descriptions and documentation of methodologies and procedures for the survey.
  • Provide coaching and onthejob training for the GASTAT staff on survey design and sampling methods as relevant.
