The PARIS21 work programme -- through its partners and its Secretariat -- facilitates the mobilisation and leverage of resources (both national and international) for the implementation of National Strategies for the Development of Statistics (NSDS) in all low-income countries.

The Partnership intervenes on several levels:

• International: advocating for increased use of statistics and increased support to statistical development and providing methodological guidance and best practices on strategic planning processes.
• Regional: organising regional workshops to share experiences across countries on improving the user-producer dialogue and carrying forward NSDS processes.
• National: facilitating and providing technical assistance for the design and implementation of NSDSs through adequate co-ordination between stakeholders and creation of country-level donor co-ordination mechanisms.

To support countries in these efforts, PARIS21 will accelerate its activities targeting the creation of country-level partnerships. Countries are encouraged to establish these partnerships, identifying a lead donor with whom national authorities can regularly liaise on matters concerning statistical development.
