What we do
The Statistical Division of UNECE plays a central role in coordinating international statistical activities between the countries of the UNECE region and beyond, helping to strengthen, modernize and harmonize statistical systems.
Our work is demand-driven and flexible, steered by the Conference of European Statisticians and guided by the Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics.
We bring together experts from national and international statistical offices to identify areas where common solutions can be reached through international cooperation. Then we coordinate task forces, expert groups and committees to develop:
- standards, guidelines and recommendations
- repositories of best practices
- capacity-building and technical cooperation activities
- training materials.
Our annual programme of work explains what we are focusing on in 2024.
Who we are
UNECE is based in Geneva, Switzerland. The statistical division consists of around 30 staff from about 20 countries, with expertise across a range of statistical areas.
