We design, coordinate and implement consulting projects in official statistics. For that purpose we provide customised trainings and subject matter study visits to our partner countries aiming at the strengthening of statistical capacity. This is achieved in the framework of, for instance, EU and World Bank twinning projects.

Philosophy
Statistics are indispensable for the successful identification of state priorities in economic policy and development strategy as well as for visualising the progress achieved. The transfer of methodical expertise can only be sustainable if it is embedded in the simultaneous consolidation of organizational infrastructure.
