R-training in Georgia

In Georgia there is definitely something to celebrate! Despite difficulties coming from the new COVID19-normal, 22 participants have just completed their first training in the IT software ‘R’ at the Georgian National Statistical Office (GeoStat) as part of the EU Twinning project. A success assigned to coordination and cooperation across different sectors and domains with multiple partners and interest groups., 18 May 2021 8:00 ,  , An IT review and a discussion with Expertise France... , EU Twinning projects run with a specific set of objectives and clearly defined activities. But in GeoStat something more is bustling as an IT review combined with an ongoing coordination across projects has led to supplementary and essential goals to be pursued., Georgia - table with gear ready for Covid19 and online meeting. , Photo: Steen B. Pedersen,  , IT-resources are scarce in GeoStat why an IT-sector review led by the , UN Economic Commission on Europe (, UNECE), which the Twinning project was invited to take part in, encouraged them to develop an IT-training strategy for both IT and statistical staff. Training of IT staff will raise the skills and competence level of staff and in the long run hopefully attract new IT staff to GeoStat. Training of statistical staff will on the other hand, loosen the pressure on IT-resources. , The IT-sector review also suggested that GeoStat considers alternatives to Excel and MS-Access for statistical production processes. And meanwhile, Twinning experts on different subject areas were working with colleagues from GeoStat on implementing new statistical products and procedures – and choosing IT software was an essential part of that work. Selecting a well-known solution would of course be the easiest on the short run, but this did not happen!  , The Resident Twinning Advisor and the Project leader from Expertise France implementing the EU funded project “Statistics for the Eastern Partnership” (STEP) had long been discussing opportunities for possible areas of cooperation and synergies between the two projects with ‘R’ being a top priority for cooperation. Now to build from the bricks of the IT-sector review and the parallel discussions around cooperation efforts, ‘R’ was instead added to both work plans and course materials with efforts to take the first steps towards implementing an open source software more systematically as an integrated part of the statistical production process.  , Conducting training in times of COVID19, Like so much else, COVID19 also challenges statistical capacity building across borders why the first R-mission in the frame of the Twinning project was conducted online. On a positive note, this allowed for more employees to participate compared to the original plan. 6 sessions, of three hours each, in a combination of plenary introductions and practical training in “breakout rooms” - covered subjects such as data manipulation, data visualisation and more advanced loops and function procedures. , The next training mission will be conducted during the summer 2021. Meanwhile GeoStat employees have the opportunity to test/put their newly adapted skills into practice.,  , # Facts , about the EU Twinning project:, Name: , Strengthening the capacity of the Georgian Statistical system, Partner: ,  , National Statistics Office of Georgia  & Statistics Denmark, Duration: , April 2019 – July 2021,

Launching a statistical databank is not an everyday event

Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) has launched their PX-web based databank called StatsBank Ghana, 1 September 2023 13:00 ,  , Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) launched their PX-web based databank before the summer vacation in a low-key way. Since then significant amounts of data have been added. To celebrate this and to launch the StatsBank Ghana to academia GSS arranged a High-level Academic Event and a “Hackathon” together with the University of Ghana and the Regional Institute for Population Studies., Over two days teams of students worked extremely concentrated to turn data from the GSS StatsBank into new knowledge. Knowledge and information helping to explain daily life in Ghana.  Over the coming months GSS will arrange similar “Hackathons” with other universities. The best teams will then meet later in the year and compete again., The StatsBank Ghana mainly contains data from the 2021 housing and population census but also economic data on subjects like trade and inflations. , The purpose of the “hackathon” is not for students to compete, but mainly to demonstrate to academia and policy planners how the data can be turned into new knowledge by everyone with an internet connection. Secondly, it helps demonstrate the immense value to society of making data freely available in a machine-readable form. , Although statistical databases may sound both abstract and boring they greatly facilitate informed decision-making among politicians and planners and they help citizens understand the world they live in., The University of Ghana Hackathon was won by team “Beta” who created a dashboard on youth unemployment in relation to the UN Sustainable Development Goal #8 - Decent work and economic growth. , Read more about the Hackathon and team Beta at , https://www.graphic.com.gh/tech-news/team-beta-triumphs-in-36hour-hackathon-by-ghana-statistical-service-and-statistics-denmark.html, You can try out the StatsBank Ghana at , https://statsbank.statsghana.gov.gh/pxweb/en/, Building on the StatsBank API GSS has launched a Digital Census Atlas. API meaning Applied Programming Interface, which makes it possible to access, process and display data i.e. from the StatsBank Ghana in various ways. The atlas shows indicators related to the 2021 Census on a scalable map. Each thematic map allows the users to extract the data from the StatsBank for further analysis., Access to the Census Atlas: , https://phc-geospatial-results.netlify.app/, The GSS StatsBank is build on the open source tool – PX-Web. Launching the StatsBank was an important milestone in the phase I of the Strategic Sector Cooperation between The Danish Embassy, Statistics Denmark and the Ghana Statistical Service. The Strategic Sector Cooperation projects are financed by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs., For further information about the project get in touch with Project Manager Jesper Ellemose Jensen (, jej@dst.dk, ) or the international consulting unit of Statistics Denmark.

Nordic webinar on development cooperation

On February 9, 2022 at 9.30 am a webinar on Data for Development is held. The webinar will provide a Nordic perspective on integrating statistics into development policy making., 25 January 2022 13:00 ,  ,  , The National Statistical Institutions (NSIs) in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland have all been engaged in development cooperation in statistics for several decades. In order to contribute to continuous learning and increased coordination, the development cooperation units in the NSIs have been exchanging experiences and sharing good practice from their work, formally on an annual basis but even more regularly on an informal basis., To increase this coordination and learning, in 2020, a first meeting was held for an external audience, including financing institutions and external partners, with the aim of fostering joint understanding, providing inspiration, and proposing opportunities for concrete cooperation in future work. Since this was experienced as a useful and informative meeting, it was proposed to carry out a similar joint event virtually in 2022., This meeting will focus on the use of data and statistics in policymaking. It’s essential for our partner to ensure that statistics is relevant, in demand and used in order to realise the full potential that statistics can bring to development policymaking. However, it is often considered challenging to work with the user perspective of statistics and to support our partners adequately. This meeting aims to exchange practical experiences and ideas for how to ensure that the final step in the statistics value chain can be reached, and to get input from donors and external partners to help us develop our projects further in this area.,  , Register here,  , Program:, Using data for development, – a Nordic perspective on integrating statistics into development policymaking , 9 February 2022, 9.30-11.30 ,  , Time                            , Agenda point, Comments/speakers, 9.30-9.35, Check-in, Denmark to host the meeting, 9.35-9.45, The Nordic model for statistical capacity development – how has it changed over the years to focus more on the user perspective, Mr Stefan Andersson, Head of International Cooperation, Statistics Sweden , 9.45-10.30, Panel discussion:, Moderated by Mr Timo Koskimäki, Director of International Affairs at Statistics Finland, Including Q&A, Mr James L Donovan, Senior Policy Specialist, Swedish International Development Agency Sida , Mr Henrik Hansen, Professor, , Institute of Economics, University of Copenhagen, member of the Development Economics Research Group, Mr Geir Øvensen, Senior Advisor, Norad, Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation, Mr Miikka Paajavuori, Senior Officer, Ministry for Foreign Affairs Finland , 10.30-10.50, About wage negotiations, data needs and trust in data.

Calling African Statistical Institutes

The European Pan African statistics 2 programme is inviting African NSIs to join the presentation on Monday 14th March 2022., 8 March 2022 13:00 ,  ,  , In 2022, Eurostat launched a programme called Pan African Statistics 2 (PAS2) to support the African Union and its members’ statistical systems. This programme, which is a continuation of the PAS1 programme, is structured around several projects among which the following three will be presented during the side event: two grants coordinated by EU National Statistical Institutes (Insee-France and Statistics Denmark) and one service contract managed by Expertise France (the French agency for international technical cooperation). Together, the three projects will cover a range of statistical domains, with one grant focusing on economic statistics (ECOnomic and BUSiness statistics in AFrica- ECOBUSAF), one grant focusing on social statistics (SOCial STatistics in Africa - SOCSTAF), and the service contract covering both social and economic statistics. The purpose of this side event is to introduce the PAS2 programme to the African NSIs, to provide information about its objectives and content, and inform about the opportunity to participate., While the PAS2 service contract project has mostly a regional approach, ECOBUSAF and SOCSTAF more specifically target individual NSIs. The latter two projects aim at supporting African countries in building their capacities in various statistical domains (National accounts, business registers, demographic, health, education and employment statistics) and in going down the path of statistical integration at the AU level in some statistical domains. New data sources will be investigated together with how to treat them. Various operating modes will be carried out on-line or face-to-face, including technical assistance to specific countries, on-line training courses, workshops and a hackathon. The programmes will coordinate with each other and with other stakeholders in the region and create synergies with other programmes. , The participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and to informally show their interest in participating in the project. ,  , Register for the event,  here, Program:, Pan African Statistics 2, – , a European programme to support better data for better lives in Africa, A Side Event at the United Nations Statistical Commission, Organised by: Eurostat, African Union, INSEE, Statistics Denmark, Statistics Norway and, Expertise France. , The event will be co-chaired by Eurostat and STATAFRIC., Held in English with French interpretation, Thursday 14 march 2022, 9.00-10.30 am (New York) - 3.00-4.30 pm (CET), Time, Agenda point, Comments/speakers, 20 min, Introduction by the co-chairs, overview of the PAS2 programme, by M.

Bosnia-Herzegovina 2024-2026

Statistics Denmark is implementing an EU-financed Twinning project in Bosnia and Herzegovina in cooperation with the national statistical institutions of Finland, Slovenia and Italy. The project runs from January 2024 to January 2026. This project is the fifth in a row of collaboration projects financed by the EU, with Statistics Denmark as the lead agency., This Twinning project addresses multiple institutions as they all constitute the national statistical system of Bosnia-Herzegovina. , The beneficiary institutions are:, Agency for Statistics of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Institute for Statistics of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Institute for Statistics of Republika Srpska,, The Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina, The overall objective of the project is to strengthen the national statistical system (NSS) in Bosnia-Herzegovina facilitating its approximation to the Union , acquis, in the area of statistics. The importance of this objective was highlighted on 15 December 2022, when , Bosnia and Herzegovina received candidate status for EU membership. The candidate status adds further urgency to the approximation process. , The project addresses five independent components:, Component 1: Business Statistics , Component 2: Tourism Satellite Accounts (TSA), Component 3: Information and Communication Technology Statistics (ICT), Component 4: Labour Markets Statistics , Component 5: Monthly Balance of Payments Statistics, Business Statistics, From previous Twinning Projects in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Danish and Finish experts have an in depth understanding of the local conditions. As EBS has come into effect both structural business statistics and short term statistics has to be adjusted in terms of methodology and data collection thereby requiring changes to the Statistical Business Register. At the same time, the burden put on respondents must not grow and should preferably be reduced through better data collecting and use of administrative data. ,  , Administrative data sources, The consortium has significant experience in the use of administrative data for production of statistics. With some accuracy, it can be claimed that the use of administrative data was invented in Scandinavia.,  , Denmark and Finland has a long history of using administrative data sources. Statistics Finland is required by law to use administrative sources if available in order to minimize respondent burden and in Denmark, nearly all social statistics are based on administrative records. Data on wages and employment are also usually extracted from business and tax authorities. ,  , TSA and ICT, TSA and ICT are new areas to this Twinning but are all produced by the MS partners. Implementation of ICT in Bosnian-Herzegovina is already well advanced and the component may be directed more at methodologies used for collecting and producing the statistics than actually compiling them. TSA or more formally Tourism Satellite accounts are often produced in a venture between NSIs and relevant public institutions such as the national board of tourism and academia. ,  , Labour markets statistics, Labour market statistics are produced according to Eurostat and ILO requirement. Data is compiled using a combination of surveys and administrative records. The coming project will focus on using administrative records.  ,  , Monthly Balance of Payment, Balance of Payment is usually produced in close collaboration between the national statistical institutes and the Central / National Bank. As in two previous project, we hope to continue the work relation established between Statistics Finland, the Central Bank of Finland and the Central Bank of Bosnia-Herzegovina. If relevant expertise from Italy may also be mobilized.
