Better data and statistics are critical for setting development targets, measuring progress, and accelerating action. These crucial data come from various sources such as censuses, surveys, and administrative records primarily managed by national statistical offices (NSOs) and other actors in the national statistical system (NSS). Given the intrinsic link between these actors, efficient coordination, collaboration, and planning should be ensured for robust data production, dissemination, and use.

Whether it be through technical assistance, guidelines and toolkits, or training opportunities, PARIS21 supports NSOs in developing strong, well-functioning NSSs to ensure the production of timely and quality development data as well as promote uptake and use for better policy and decision-making.

Gender-responsive and inclusive statistical planning ensures sustainable production and use of gender data, facilitating data-driven policies that effectively tackle gender disparities and leave no one behind. In collaboration with partners such as UN Women and Global Affairs Canada, PARIS21 supports the integration of gender statistics into national strategic planning. By helping national statistical offices (NSOs) to identify gender data gaps and engage with a diverse array of stakeholders, PARIS21 assures that national strategies for statistical development (NSDS) are both inclusive and equitable.
