Course Description
National statistics offices organise themselves and function in alignment with the statistical value chain and the framework of official statistics. Statistical systems are described as either centralised or decentralised depending on the extent to which responsibility for delivering official statistics across the range of government activities lies with the central institution. A statistical system “works” combining user needs, the framework of official statistics as well as the integration within an international statistical system. Our Certificate in “Management of Statistical Systems” course provides learners with awareness of the importance on the linkage between statistical classifications and respective statistical units in order to integrate them in the dissemination structures. It also helps them understand and combine the relationship among administrative registers, “classical” sources of statistical data and the integration of data from different sources as well as am understanding of how to plan, implement, maintain and control the quality of a statistical operation.
