Principles & Practices of Official Statistics for SDG

Inclusive and sustainable industrial development (ISID) is a primary source of income generation, allows for rapid and sustained increases in living standards of people, and provides technological solutions for an environmentally sound development. ISID is an integral part of the SDGs, particularly SDG 9, which focuses on industry, innovation and infrastructure. Promoting inclusive and sustainable industries and continuing to invest in physical infrastructure, innovation and research are vital to long-term economic development.

The workshop is to explore the potential benefits and pitfalls, as well as presenting a number of case studies from peers in the region to dive more deeply into specific contextual examples. Platform-specific experts will provide insights into how to communicate persuasively across Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, and National Statistical Offices (NSOs) will have opportunities to share their own experiences and discuss best practices.

This course is designed to provide a strong foundation for the main pillars of SDG 9, the relationship of this goal and the 2030 Agenda with ISID, including its contribution to building peace and prosperity for all. Target participants are government statisticians from national statistical offices, Ministry of Industry and Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) who are involved in compiling, disseminating and analyzing statistics and indicators on industry, innovation and infrastructure; conducting policy for industrial growth and attracting investments into their countries.

This course was jointly organised by the Institute and the Japan International Cooperation Agency of the Government of Japan. It is designed to strengthen the innovative capabilities of national statistical systems to explore new data sources such as geo-spatial information, big data, and alternative administrative data, and apply alternative/non-traditional methods for SDG statistics. The program will also develop ability to use the non-traditional supplementary data for disaggregation of SDG statistics.
