Abstract: National Statistical Institutions (NSIs) face significant challenges in a rapidly evolving information environment. Although considerable networking and information sharing occurs amongst NSIs, there are further opportunities to work together to improve the relevance of statistical frameworks and standards and to more rapidly evolve, share and connect our technology infrastructures. Action in these areas has the potential to help NSIs improve the reach and agility of official statistical services.
