Regional Training Course On The National Strategy For The Development Of Statistics (NSDS)

The National Strategies for the Development of Statistics (NSDSs) provide a comprehensive framework through which countries can identify, prioritise, and enhance targeted capabilities at individual, organisational, and system levels for effective, efficient, and inclusive production of official statistics. The Partnership in Statistics for Development in the 21st Century (PARIS21), in collaboration with the Statistical Institute for Asia and the Pacific (SIAP), developed a unique training course for NSSs, NSO leaders, and national planning senior managers to improve strategic planning for data and statistics development, as well as to adopt innovative tools and methods. This course will provide an overview of the NSDS Guidelines and the need for countries to design effective NSDSs. In addition, the course will feature special topics on Voluntary National Reviews, climate change data, Transformation and Modernisation (T&M) Enablers, with a hint on NSO Artificial Intelligence (AI) Readiness, as well as communications around NSDSs.
