Statistics Norway (SSB) has been engaged in international development cooperation for more than 50 years. Since 1994, SSB has had a division dedicated to this work, and over the years our approach has moved towards long-term institutional cooperation projects. Experience has shown us that a long-time horizon is more likely to contribute to sustainable and resilient results for our partner institutions. The main purpose of SSB’s international development cooperation is to build capacity in producing official statistics of good quality and to contribute to the development of a strong National Statistical System.
