PARIS21, in collaboration with UN Statistical Institute for Asia and the Pacific (UNSIAP), conducted a regional training course on the National Strategies for the Development of Statistics (NSDS) on December 9-12, 2014 at UNSIAP in Chiba, Japan. This training course was designed to introduce high level country representatives in the new NSDS Guidelines.

ADP giving emphasis on the design and adoption of microdata dissemination policies in Asia (March 2013)
In its efforts to assist national statistics offices in enhancing the dissemination of their products, ADP is providing assistance to several countries in the formulation of their Microdata Dissemination Policy. ADP is currently working with Georgia GEOSTAT, Cambodia’s National Institute of Statistics and the Lao Statistics Bureau, both in the final stages of the policy design. The objective is to clarify who can access which type of microdata under which conditions, in accordance with the legal and strategic national contexts. Additional countries have requested similar support - including in other regions, and will receive it in 2013.
