Abstract

Over the last few years, several proposals have discussed how to strengthen the international statistical system. In particular, the Committee for Co-ordination of Statistical Activities has identified a medium-term strategy to improve the quality of statistics produced by international organisations, as well as the co-operation among them. Building on the experience of some organisations, including the OECD, some principles and recommended practices have been identified. One area that requires a special investment is training. The paper describes some experiences made at the OECD and highlights proposals for future investments in this field.
