Stakeholders to Discuss National Strategy for Statistics

Under the sponsorship of HH Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani, Heir Apparent of the State of Qatar, the Qatar Statistics Authority (QSA) will organize a one-day workshop on November 28, 2007 to discuss the draft project of the National Strategy for the Development of Statistics (NSDS) in Qatar.

Titled as "Stakeholder Workshop on the NSDS in Qatar", the workshop will bring together local producers and users of data representing various ministries, government departments, universities, research centers, and interested private sector institutions. The purpose of the workshop is to consult and seek the opinion of these stakeholders about the draft NSDS. The final version of the NSDS will include feedback from the meeting and will be published soon after.

The NSDS, which has been developed by the QSA with input from the stakeholders, aims at strengthening statistical capacity across the entire Qatari National Statistical System (NSS). Its objectives are aligned with the State of Qatar’s national development policy and goals. It follows international standards and addresses all statistical aspects, including data collection, analysis, dissemination and use, from censuses, surveys and administrative systems, as well as mechanisms for coordination and consultation.

The workshop will consist of presentations by QSA officials and experts, followed by group discussions designed to generate specific comments. To maximize the impact of the meeting, QSA also will invite international and regional experts.
