The UNSD-DFID project focuses on improving national and global data dissemination of national development indicators by assisting countries; to develop further the content and functionality of existing national databases; to acquire experience of using new technologies to exchange these information with national users and the international community (i.e. SDMX); and link this information to the UNSD’s CountryData portal (data.un.org/countryData), part of UNdata, to further raise their availability and visibility.

In order to ensure coordination among international agencies assisting countries in statistical capacity building, this steering committee was convened to guide the project in its final 18 months of implementation.
