Statistical Training Workshop in Azerbaijan
Official statistics provide an indispensable element
of the information system of a democratic society, serving the Government, the
economy and the public with data about the economic, demographic, social and environmental
situation.
This Statistical Training Workshop is committed to providing statistical training that meets the needs of Odlar Yurdu University (OYU) staff, and the State Statistical Committee (SSC) staff in Azerbaijan. The training program offers different levels of statistical training by high-level Canadian trained statistical experts.
Workshop proposes
the establishment of a network among CAPA, SSC and OYU. Such network must
specifically
(i)
improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of national statistical systems
(ii)
facilitate
coordination and communication between SSC of Azerbaijan and Canadian
Statistical Agencies
(iii)
strengthen the
SSC’s individual training capabilities,
(iv)
align their
statistical training programs to international priorities without prejudicing
their right to carry out programs specific to their own country needs
(v)
disseminate
best practice and exchange expertise amongst them.
Success in
achieving these ends will help enable the national statistical system, and
specifically the SSC, in responding efficiently and effectively to national and
international obligations.
The Methodology Workshop
Programme will offer a series sessions to provide OYU and SSC staff with
background knowledge in the diverse statistical methods currently used by
Canadian Statisticians. Each session will be designed to arouse interest and
discussion, by providing staff with a wider understanding of the survey process
and issues involved.
