The survey of Democratic Governance is a new area in the Palestinian official statistics that came to meet the needs of users and to provide comparable statistics on the regional and international levels.\n\nThe Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics has decided to include Democratic Governance in its program as part of PCBS' efforts to provide  comprehensive statistical indicators in specialized subjects. Statistics on Democratic Governance has become one of the main requirements of the development of societies and will serve the needs of users including decision and policy makers.\n\nStatistical indicators on Democratic Governance cover many aspects of social, economic, and environmental life, and go in line with the indicators of the Millennium Development Goals. These indicators provide the basis to monitor the status of human rights and governance in any country as well as support the national social and economic system.\n\nThis report addresses the most important results of the Democratic Governance survey that was carried out by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics during the period from  09\/02\/2010 till 03\/05\/2010. . The report presents relevant results related to the rule of law in the Palestinian Territory, public office, and election. The results also covers the performance of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC), the  government, and civil society. In addition, the report  presents relevant indicators on the freedom of opinion and expression, freedom of press, access to information, and the freedom to affiliate with and form political parties. In addition, the results cover  women's rights,  the right to education, health, and labor.\n\nThe Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics hopes that the findings of this report will be effectively utilized to enable decision and policy makers to identify required policies and procedures for further improvement and development and  to better serve the Palestinian citizen.","time_periods":[{"start":"2010-03-23","end":"2010-04-20","cycle":""}],"coll_dates":[{"start":"2010-03-23","end":"2010-04-20","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Palestine","abbreviation":"PSE"}],"geog_coverage":"The West Bank","analysis_unit":"Persons , All employees in managerial positions in the ministries of the PNA in the West Bank during the survey's reference periodAll employees in managerial positions in the ministries of the PNA in the West Bank during the survey's reference period","universe":"All employees in managerial positions in the ministries of the PNA in the West Bank during the survey's reference period.

The survey's questionnaire includes the following basic components:\n\n\nIdentification data:\nThe identification data constitutes the key that uniquely identifies each questionnaire.\nThe key consists of the questionnaire' serial number, ministry name and code according to the sampling frame of public servants 2007 and governorate code. The classification of localities\/governorates is according to the Standard Administrative Classification that was adopted by a national committee composed of representatives of various national institutions, and applied by PCBS in the Population, Housing and Establishment Censuses 2007.\n\nData quality control:\nA set of quality controls were developed and incorporated into the different phases of\nthe survey including field operations, office editing, office coding, data processing, and survey documentation.\n\nSurvey's main indicators:\nMain indicators cover areas based on personal experiences as well as other areas based on perceptions on different topics addressed by the survey including: living issues, decision-making in public sector, personnel administration, appointments in the public sector, budget management, services \/ contracts and tenders in the public sector, and reporting corruption if it occurs."},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics","abbreviation":"PCBS","affiliation":""}],"sampling_procedure":"Listing of the number of employees of the PNA distributed by ministries in the West Bank.\n\nSample Design:\nThe sample is stratified clustered systematic random sample.

Fieldwork teams were distributed to different districts according to sample allocation.  All field staff received a training session combining general theoretical and practical components.  Interviewers, supervisors and editors for the survey were selected from those who worked on the Labour Force Survey.  Fieldwork procedures and organization were designed to ensure adequate supervision and the collection of high quality data.  To this end, several quality control measures were used through out fieldwork","act_min":"The fieldwork team consisted of fieldwork coordinator, supervisors and fieldworkers.

The sample of the survey is two stage stratified cluster sample, thus, the weights are calculated for each stage and the Households Weights is the multiplication of the two weights.\nFirst stage weight:\nThe sample of enumeration areas is selected and the weight is called enumeration area weight (the sampling unit is enumeration area).The weight for enumeration areas from stratum h is calculated by dividing the number of enumeration areas in stratum h on the sample size of enumeration areas in stratum h.\n\nSecond stage weight:\nThe sample of households is selected and the weight is called household weight (the sampling unit is household). The weight of the Household from enumeration area (cluster) k is calculated by dividing the number of households in each cluster with the sample size of households within the cluster k. \n\nThe primary weight of households before modification is the multiplication of the\nweights of the first and second stages.\nThen we adjust the primary weights for the households to compensate for the non - response of households by calculating adjustment factor for households weights for adjustment levels (Governorate and locality type ) by using households projections by adjustment levels in 2007.\nThen the final weight for the households ( FHW) is a multiplication of the adjustment factor by the primary weights for the household.\nWeight of the person 18 and above is calculated By the inverse probability of  selecting an person from the family by sex of the person.\nThe persons weights were adjusted according to population estimates on the level of Region , Sex, and Age groups.","cleaning_operations":"Data processing phase includes many interdependent activities that aim to electronically capture the collected data to be ready for analysis. These activities are:\n 1. Office editing: Questionnaires were reviewed according to rules specified in special editing manual specifically designed for the survey. The purpose of this activity was to ensure that the questionnaires had no consistency errors, and no uncompleted questionnaires. \n2. Programming and data entry stage: This stage included preparation of the data entry programs, setting up the data entry control rules to avoid data entry errors, and validation queries to examine the data after its being electronically captured."},"analysis_info":{"response_rate":"Response rate was 100% in the Palestinian Territory.","sampling_error_estimates":"1.  Statistical Errors:\nSampling rather than comprehensive enumeration has been used to collect data in this survey. Therefore it is liable to two types of errors affecting the quality of survey data, sampling (statistical errors) and non-sampling errors (non-statistical errors). Statistical errors mean the errors resulting from sample designing and this is computed simply. Variance and effect of sample design has been computed for the Palestinian Territory, the West Bank and Gaza Strip. \n\n2. Non-Statistical  Errors:\nNon-statistical errors, on the other hand, could not be determined easily, due to the diversity of sources from which they may arise, e.g., the interviewer, respondent, editor, coder, and data entry operator.","data_appraisal":"The data of this survey is of a high quality"}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"conf_dec":[{"txt":"General Statistics Law \nNo. (5) for Year 2000\nArticle (17\n1.
