(Improving Data Dissaggregation: Advances in Sub-National Statistical Systems)
Many countries produce sub-national economic statistics by state, province, territory, metropolitan area and city that are critical for policymaking, allocating government resources, understanding the impacts of economic shocks and natural disasters, locating businesses, and many other uses. National statistical offices in Asia, Africa, Europe, North America and South America disseminate this type of information on either a regular, or ad-hoc basis.
This sprint will provide an international forum for economic statisticians to share their experience in doing this type of work.
The two-webinar series starts with the motivation behind the production of sub-national indicators plus the methods and data used to produce them, then delves into some of the challenges associated with this work by exploring extended and thematic accounts, the challenges of developing and communicating experimental estimates and the important role that partnerships play in the ability of organization to develop quality data that meets user needs.
