Annual Report 2019. International development cooperation in Statistics Norway

Good statistics are important for measuring progress on the SDGs. What is more important is that a country is able to make policy decisions that will drive sustainable development. A solid National Statistical System (NSS) well aligned with national development plans and priorities plays a key role in providing the country’s policy makers, citizens and businesses with information vital for making informed choices and develop evidence-based policies.

Statistics Norway’s (SSB) statistical cooperation activities amounted to 22 man-years in 2019. 106 short term missions were conducted, and SSB organised 31 study visits with participants from 12 countries. Long-term and broad-based institutional development cooperation with partner countries constitutes the main part of this work. The core of SSB’s development work is to support national statistical systems through institutional cooperation.
