Training Workshop on Compiling Energy and Air Emission Accounts | 05 February 2024 | 15 February 2024 | The Statistics Department (STA) of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), is implementing the “Environment and Climate Change Statistics Capacity Development Program”, supported by the State Economic Cooperation (SECO). The program is oriented towards assisting beneficiary countries in the development and dissemination of indicators most relevant to their policy needs. Accordingly, technical assistance will focus on developing one or two indicators that reflect the most urgent data needs of the targeted countries; and encompass the use of internationally agreed methodology or testing methodology underdevelopment. The program will build capacity in the project countries to compile select indicators through the organization of workshops, trainings, and targeted hands-on technical assistance. | IMF STA, SIAP | Workshop | Chiba , Japan |
Webinar on the Management of Statistics Capacity Building in the Pacific | 21 February 2024 | 21 February 2024 | Pacific Community (SPC) has started an initiative to explore and identify the unmet needs for statistics in the Pacific region and undertook the region-wise comprehensive needs assessment. This needs assessment work will contribute to the development of the regional Capacity Development Framework, which is aimed to identify the needs and the appropriate capacity development modalities at three levels: system, institutional/organisational, and individual - more information can be found in a working paper aimed to highlight main features of the framework. The webinar is aimed at streamlining the statistical capacity development in the Pacific by making informed decisions and identifying systemic areas to focus on in the coming years. | SIAP, SPC | Webinar | Online |

Regional Course on Statistical Business Registers | 11 March 2024 | 14 March 2024 | Statistical Business Registers (SBRs) are often described as the backbone of economic statistics, as they provide the core infrastructure to support the collection of economic data and the production of economic statistics. They provide a coherent set of units and classifications to collect and compile data across all domains, and a consistent set of rules to maintain this set of units over time. SBRs are considered as the backbone for producing economic statistics that meet the increasing demand for better integrated, coherent and comparable statistics across countries and statistical domains. Inclusive and exhaustive SBRs are becoming an increasingly more important element of the statistical infrastructure for maintaining the relevance, responsiveness and quality of economic statistics in order to measure the structure and dynamics of economic activity. | SIAP, UNSD | e-Learning, Regional Training | Chiba , Japan |
