PARIS21’s Response to COVID-19

Join PARIS21 and a special convened Task Force to engage and support NSO partners across the globe, with the aim to mitigate the effect of the evolving global crisis on their daily operations, their medium-term activities and their long-term development

As COVID-19 continues to spread, National Statistical Offices (NSOs) find themselves facing unprecedented challenges. In the middle of a census year, many NSOs now struggle to conduct their usual statistical activities while maintaining the safety for their staff. At the same time, policymakers, development partners and multilateral institutions need more and better data to monitor the spread and impact of COVID-19.

As NSOs in developing countries comply with lockdowns and other mitigation policies, immediate challenges associated with remote work and limited capabilities will begin to impact national statistics in the short-, medium- and long-term. Learn more about the webinar here and register here.
