Principle 10 - International statistical co-operation

Bilateral and multilateral co-operation in statistics contributes to the improvement of systems of official statistics in all countries.

The sharing of information and practices, as well as co-operation in the joint development of statistical standards, international statistical activities etc is an essential ingredient for continuous improvement of the quality and range of official statistics in all countries and the efficiency of their production. A lot of this co-operation is facilitated by various

international activities supported by international statistical and other agencies and professional associations.

Technical co-operation , either organized bilaterally amongst agencies or organized through international organizations and activities, is important for the development of the range and quality of official statistics in the developing countries. Programs and institutions are available for statisticians to receive

statistical training relevant to the production of official statistics.
