Calling African Statistical Institutes

The European Pan African statistics 2 programme is inviting African NSIs to join the presentation on Monday 14th March 2022., 8 March 2022 13:00 , , , In 2022, Eurostat launched a programme called Pan African Statistics 2 (PAS2) to support the African Union and its members’ statistical systems. This programme, which is a continuation of the PAS1 programme, is structured around several projects among which the following three will be presented during the side event: two grants coordinated by EU National Statistical Institutes (Insee-France and Statistics Denmark) and one service contract managed by Expertise France (the French agency for international technical cooperation). Together, the three projects will cover a range of statistical domains, with one grant focusing on economic statistics (ECOnomic and BUSiness statistics in AFrica- ECOBUSAF), one grant focusing on social statistics (SOCial STatistics in Africa - SOCSTAF), and the service contract covering both social and economic statistics. The purpose of this side event is to introduce the PAS2 programme to the African NSIs, to provide information about its objectives and content, and inform about the opportunity to participate., While the PAS2 service contract project has mostly a regional approach, ECOBUSAF and SOCSTAF more specifically target individual NSIs. The latter two projects aim at supporting African countries in building their capacities in various statistical domains (National accounts, business registers, demographic, health, education and employment statistics) and in going down the path of statistical integration at the AU level in some statistical domains. New data sources will be investigated together with how to treat them. Various operating modes will be carried out on-line or face-to-face, including technical assistance to specific countries, on-line training courses, workshops and a hackathon. The programmes will coordinate with each other and with other stakeholders in the region and create synergies with other programmes. , The participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and to informally show their interest in participating in the project. , , Register for the event, here, Program:, Pan African Statistics 2, – , a European programme to support better data for better lives in Africa, A Side Event at the United Nations Statistical Commission, Organised by: Eurostat, African Union, INSEE, Statistics Denmark, Statistics Norway and, Expertise France. , The event will be co-chaired by Eurostat and STATAFRIC., Held in English with French interpretation, Thursday 14 march 2022, 9.00-10.30 am (New York) - 3.00-4.30 pm (CET), Time, Agenda point, Comments/speakers, 20 min, Introduction by the co-chairs, overview of the PAS2 programme, by M.

Nordic webinar on development cooperation

On February 9, 2022 at 9.30 am a webinar on Data for Development is held. The webinar will provide a Nordic perspective on integrating statistics into development policy making., 25 January 2022 13:00 , , , The National Statistical Institutions (NSIs) in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland have all been engaged in development cooperation in statistics for several decades. In order to contribute to continuous learning and increased coordination, the development cooperation units in the NSIs have been exchanging experiences and sharing good practice from their work, formally on an annual basis but even more regularly on an informal basis., To increase this coordination and learning, in 2020, a first meeting was held for an external audience, including financing institutions and external partners, with the aim of fostering joint understanding, providing inspiration, and proposing opportunities for concrete cooperation in future work. Since this was experienced as a useful and informative meeting, it was proposed to carry out a similar joint event virtually in 2022., This meeting will focus on the use of data and statistics in policymaking. It’s essential for our partner to ensure that statistics is relevant, in demand and used in order to realise the full potential that statistics can bring to development policymaking. However, it is often considered challenging to work with the user perspective of statistics and to support our partners adequately. This meeting aims to exchange practical experiences and ideas for how to ensure that the final step in the statistics value chain can be reached, and to get input from donors and external partners to help us develop our projects further in this area., , Register here, , Program:, Using data for development, – a Nordic perspective on integrating statistics into development policymaking , 9 February 2022, 9.30-11.30 , , Time , Agenda point, Comments/speakers, 9.30-9.35, Check-in, Denmark to host the meeting, 9.35-9.45, The Nordic model for statistical capacity development – how has it changed over the years to focus more on the user perspective, Mr Stefan Andersson, Head of International Cooperation, Statistics Sweden , 9.45-10.30, Panel discussion:, Moderated by Mr Timo Koskimäki, Director of International Affairs at Statistics Finland, Including Q&A, Mr James L Donovan, Senior Policy Specialist, Swedish International Development Agency Sida , Mr Henrik Hansen, Professor, , Institute of Economics, University of Copenhagen, member of the Development Economics Research Group, Mr Geir Øvensen, Senior Advisor, Norad, Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation, Mr Miikka Paajavuori, Senior Officer, Ministry for Foreign Affairs Finland , 10.30-10.50, About wage negotiations, data needs and trust in data.

R-training in Georgia

In Georgia there is definitely something to celebrate! Despite difficulties coming from the new COVID19-normal, 22 participants have just completed their first training in the IT software ‘R’ at the Georgian National Statistical Office (GeoStat) as part of the EU Twinning project. A success assigned to coordination and cooperation across different sectors and domains with multiple partners and interest groups., 18 May 2021 8:00 , , An IT review and a discussion with Expertise France... , EU Twinning projects run with a specific set of objectives and clearly defined activities. But in GeoStat something more is bustling as an IT review combined with an ongoing coordination across projects has led to supplementary and essential goals to be pursued., Georgia - table with gear ready for Covid19 and online meeting. , Photo: Steen B. Pedersen, , IT-resources are scarce in GeoStat why an IT-sector review led by the , UN Economic Commission on Europe (, UNECE), which the Twinning project was invited to take part in, encouraged them to develop an IT-training strategy for both IT and statistical staff. Training of IT staff will raise the skills and competence level of staff and in the long run hopefully attract new IT staff to GeoStat. Training of statistical staff will on the other hand, loosen the pressure on IT-resources. , The IT-sector review also suggested that GeoStat considers alternatives to Excel and MS-Access for statistical production processes. And meanwhile, Twinning experts on different subject areas were working with colleagues from GeoStat on implementing new statistical products and procedures – and choosing IT software was an essential part of that work. Selecting a well-known solution would of course be the easiest on the short run, but this did not happen! , The Resident Twinning Advisor and the Project leader from Expertise France implementing the EU funded project “Statistics for the Eastern Partnership” (STEP) had long been discussing opportunities for possible areas of cooperation and synergies between the two projects with ‘R’ being a top priority for cooperation. Now to build from the bricks of the IT-sector review and the parallel discussions around cooperation efforts, ‘R’ was instead added to both work plans and course materials with efforts to take the first steps towards implementing an open source software more systematically as an integrated part of the statistical production process. , Conducting training in times of COVID19, Like so much else, COVID19 also challenges statistical capacity building across borders why the first R-mission in the frame of the Twinning project was conducted online. On a positive note, this allowed for more employees to participate compared to the original plan. 6 sessions, of three hours each, in a combination of plenary introductions and practical training in “breakout rooms” - covered subjects such as data manipulation, data visualisation and more advanced loops and function procedures. , The next training mission will be conducted during the summer 2021. Meanwhile GeoStat employees have the opportunity to test/put their newly adapted skills into practice., , # Facts , about the EU Twinning project:, Name: , Strengthening the capacity of the Georgian Statistical system, Partner: , , National Statistics Office of Georgia & Statistics Denmark, Duration: , April 2019 – July 2021,

External trade, production and supply

How can I find sales figures for a specific commodity in Denmark?, Statistics Denmark does not have information on sales of individual commodities or brands., External trade and production, Using data on production, imports and exports, respectively, it is possible to estimate the market supply., A supply estimate = (domestic production plus imports) minus exports, But it will only be an ESTIMATE, as enterprises with trade or production of minor significance are not required to submit data for these statistics. For example, only companies with at least 10 employees submit data for the production statistics. In addition, a number of enterprises whose imports or exports are worth small amounts are not required to submit data for the external trade statistics. It is also not possible to take e.g. stock of the commodity into account., External trade, The most detailed tables regarding goods are distributed by , CN, classification: , Annual figures, , Monthly figures, In less detail, the table is compiled by , SITC, main groups: , Table SITC2R4, , In table STIC2R4, in the MONTH box under 'More options...' you can choose years instead of months, Production, The most detailed tables regarding goods are distributed by , CN , classification: , Annual figures, , Quarterly figures, , In less detail, the tables are compiled by , SITC, main groups: , Annual figures, , Quarterly figures, , Commodity codes , The key to detailed data on import/export and production are the commodity code classifications CN or SITC, with the CN classification being the most detailed. , The , KN classification, can be unfolded to the full list on our website, which offers an option to search on words or commodity codes., Alternatively, you can search for commodity codes in the Customs Agency's , eVITA, , The production statistics are published in 10 digits, which are equal to the 8 digits of the CN classification + 2 extra digits, The , SITC classification, is less detailed in terms of commodity groups: www.dst.dk/SITC , The SITC commodity codes have 5 digits , SITC and CN are linked in such a way that a 5-digit SITC number always corresponds to one or more commodity codes under the same 4-digit main position in the CN classification , A key between KN and SITC can be found at , Eurostat, It is also possible to search for commodity codes directly in the Statbank Denmark tables. , Please note that commodity codes may change from year to year. In addition, certain commodity codes are omitted from the tables because the information is confidentialised.

Asymmetries in statistics on International Trade in Goods

Trustworthy, consistent and comparable figures about the level and the development of international trade in goods are extremely important for both economically and political reasons. When Georgia entered into the Free Trade Area with the EU in 2014, it was expected to have a positive influence on the trade between EU and Georgia., 19 October 2021 14:00 , , Trustworthy, consistent and comparable figures about the level and the development of international trade in goods are extremely important for both economically and political reasons. When Georgia entered into the Free Trade Area with the EU in 2014, it was expected to have a positive influence on the trade between EU and Georgia. It has been more than difficult to get a consistent picture of the trade between the two areas because of the huge differences (asymmetries) in statistics on trade in goods published by Eurostat and Geostat (National Statistics Office of Georgia) respectively. The differences have been both concerning the level and – even more worrying – also the trend in trade. , A fruitful and intensive 2-year cooperation between Geostat and Danish experts from Statistics Denmark in the frame of the Twinning project , Strengthening the Capacity of the Georgian Statistical System, has now resulted in a comprehensive report describing the nature, reasons and possible solutions to these asymmetries. The report is an important input to understanding asymmetries and how to handle them in the future “, Link, ”. , Georgia’s geographical location on the shore of the Black Sea means that many goods traded between countries in Europe and mainly Armenia and Azerbaijan are transiting through Georgia. The European traders/custom are in many cases not aware that the specific imported/exported good is only transiting in Georgia and is therefore incorrectly reporting the good as being imported/exported from/to Georgia. Incorrect reporting of goods that are only transiting through Georgia are by far the major reason for the asymmetries according to the report prepared by the project, which has analysed in depths the methodology applied to trade in goods statistics in Georgia, the concepts applied and the practical data collection. , The analysis thereby also implies that the Georgian data in the cases where goods are transiting in Georgia, are more likely to be correct than Eurostat’s data as the asymmetry appears due to incorrect declaration of country of origin (when EU is importing) and country of final destination (when goods are exported from the EU). In many of these cases, the hypothesis was supported by mirror analysis carried out on data from Azerbaijan, Armenia and Turkmenistan, which showed similar asymmetries in trade data with the EU. , Asymmetries might be caused by methodological reasons, as well as by data errors. A thorough review of the compilation of international trade in goods in Geostat has revealed a sound methodology applied in Geostat’s compilation of International Trade Statistics and great awareness of international standards. The analysis also indicates that there might be a few issues concerning the so-called trade system, volatile currency, high exemption threshold for export, imputation of missing import of cars and misclassifications of commodities, all of which are more or less out of the hands of Geostat, and more importantly, are minor issues in the big asymmetry picture. , Data errors are by far the biggest problem detected. A good understanding and overview of the nature and major sources of the data errors were obtained from structured in depths microlevel analysis involving a lot of correspondence with colleagues from 6 different EU National Statistical Offices and to some extent local importers/exporters. A lot of hard work remains to reduce the asymmetries in the future, requiring most of all careful training of individual data reporters concerning the importance of indicating the correct country of origin/country of final destination.

Morocco 2024-2026

Statistics Denmark is implementing the second phase of a Strategic Sector Program in Morocco financed by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Our partner is the High Commission for Planning (Haut-Commissariat au Plan - HCP) which is the main producer of official Statistics in the Kingdom of Morocco., About Denmark’s Strategic Sector Cooperation, (on the homepage of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs), Long-term ambitions, The second phase of collaboration between Statistics Denmark and Haut-Commissariat au Plan (HCP) aims in the longer run to establish and secure the preconditions for a sustainable national statistical system based on digital collection, processing and dissemination of administrative and to a lesser degree survey data. This to support the decision making for the development of the Moroccan society in general and the just green transition in particular., The second phase naturally builds on the results achieved in the first phase. During the first phase , the digitalisation of the statistical production process in HCP has progressed to a new level: With a new IT strategy, the establishment of a Data Management Centre, the use of web based surveys, implementation of a new software for the business register etc. the IT-infrastructure to receive, process and disseminate data is now more or less in place. , The aim in phase II is thus to secure a steady and continuous flow of data into the system - both from surveys and from administrative registers, and to finalize the quality aspects of the production of statistics and to publish it., You can read more about phase I and find videos about the project here, Strategic outcomes, The project has three strategic outcomes:, Improved statistical frameworks (or systems) supporting a just green transition in Morocco through strengthening NSO capacities to work with adequately and appropriately disaggregated survey and administrative data for statistics, for digitalization processes and for communication., HCP has strengthened their role as a trusted data provider, their capacities to cooperate and to access relevant sector data, and their provision of relevant and in-demand statistics to government, private institutions and the general public relevant to a just green transition., Accelerated required decisions on viable data-solutions for the data ecosystem including but not limited to those of relevance to a just green transition enabled by partners through exposition to Danish data-solution companies and the Danish Public Private Partnership data-ecosystem of statistics., Areas of collaboration, Improving HCPs capacity and the national statistical system is done by amongst other things improving the economic modelling capacities, digitalising prioritised statistical processes, continued work on IT and data security issues, finalising the establishment of a statistical business register and secure data flows, improving quality work, and providing technical support to the further development of the implementation of The System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA)., Besides the efforts to further strengthen capacities in the production, the quality and the access to statistics efforts will be made to strengthen the cooperation between data providers and users establishing national partnerships with both government and private institutions. In practical terms through e.g. working groups and user groups, by drawing up aggreements, arranging work shops and study visits etc.
