Every Number Tells a Story

Bosnian students use statistics and videos to share their vision for the future., 11 April 2025 15:00 , By , Klaus Munch Haagensen, For most Europeans, the European Union is simply a part of daily life. It’s in the freedom to travel without borders, the shared regulations like those concerning plastic bottle caps, and the routine of voting every few years. Yet for many, the EU remains in the background - something that quietly shapes lives rather than dominates them., But for Bosnia and Herzegovina, a candidate country for EU membership, the path toward integration is very much in the foreground. As part of efforts to prepare the country’s statistical system for EU accession, Statistics Denmark, in collaboration with partners from Finland, Italy, and Slovenia, launched a unique initiative aimed at the next generation.,  , Facts about the project, This initiative is part of a Twinning project focused on enhancing the statistical capacity of Bosnia and Herzegovina across five key areas: , Business Statistics, Tourism Satellite Accounts (TSA), Information and Communication Technology Statistics (ICT), Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (SILC), and , Monthly Balance of Payments Statistics. , The project is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026. , You can read more about the project here, ., Under the headline "Every Number Tells a Story – And We Are Listening," a national video competition was held for 18–19-year-old students from secondary schools across Bosnia and Herzegovina. Their task: create a two-minute video using official statistics from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Eurostat to tell a story of their choosing., The top 10 finalists presented their videos to a jury in Sarajevo on April 9. The themes were as diverse as the students themselves, covering topics such as demographics, gender, tourism, violent deaths, and living conditions. Yet one thread ran through them all - a desire for a better future. As one team from the Mixed Secondary School “Hasan Kikić” in Gradačac put it: “To Dream, to Build, to Change.”, This message of hope stood in contrast to the realities highlighted by official statistics, which continue to show inequalities both within Bosnia and Herzegovina and in comparison to EU member states. But as the competition showed, the first step to change is understanding the present - and numbers help tell that story., Through their work, students not only learned how to interpret and present statistical data, but also how to use that data to communicate powerful, meaningful messages about their society and their future., The winning entry, came from the Mixed Secondary School in Busovača, which told a compelling story about Gross Domestic Product (GDP) statistics in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the EU., You can watch the top 3 videos below:, GDP is to blame, Overuse of the Internet,  , Marriages and divorces

Advancing Environmental Statistics in Ghana

Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) together with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is working hard on establishing green national accounts., 19 August 2024 15:00 ,  , The development of robust statistics on environmental goods and services is crucial for understanding the economic contribution of initiatives focused on environmental protection and resource management. These statistics, which form part of the broader system of environmental-economic accounting- often referred to as "green national accounts" - offer valuable insights into the economic activities related to green goods and services. As countries worldwide prioritize sustainability, the ability to measure and report on these areas becomes increasingly important., In July, Ghana made significant progress in this area. Two experts from Statistics Denmark visited Accra to collaborate with representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Ghana Statistical Services (GSS). Their mission was to develop a strategy for data collection and design effective questionnaires. This visit followed a previous mission that introduced key concepts related to environmental statistics, fostered understanding within the local context, and discussed potential implementation strategies., During the same week, the Executive Director of Ghana's EPA met with the experts from Statistics Denmark to discuss the implementation of the System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA) in Ghana. The meeting underscored the critical role of collaboration between the EPA and Ghana Statistical Services (GSS) in advancing sustainable development. Over the coming years, GSS and EPA, with the support of Statistics Denmark, will focus on Water and Waste accounts to drive informed decision-making and promote a more sustainable future for Ghana., The second mission from Statistics Denmark yielded notable progress. Among the key outcomes was an enhanced understanding of the revised Classification of Environmental Purposes (CEP) among the Ghanaian partners. This classification is essential for accurately categorizing and measuring environmental expenditures. The partners also agreed to combine data collection efforts with the existing Business Survey (IBES 2). This approach is expected to streamline the process and ensure more comprehensive data collection., A critical aspect of the mission involved discussions on how to structure the questionnaire, which will be a primary tool in gathering the necessary data. These discussions culminated in an agreement on an ambitious action plan, with a target date set for publishing the statistics on green goods and services by the end of January 2026., This collaboration between Ghana and international experts from Statistics Denmark is part of the  Strategic Sector Cooperation scheme financed by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The collaboration represents a significant stride toward developing a reliable and comprehensive framework for environmental-economic accounting in the country. As Ghana continues to integrate these practices, the resulting data will be invaluable for shaping policies and strategies that support sustainable development and environmental stewardship.,  , You can read more about our different projects under the Strategic Sector Cooperation scheme here: ,  , Ghana, Morocco, Vietnam

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.
