We provide technical cooperation in English and Russian to South-East European, Eastern European, Caucasus and Central Asian countries. Our aim is to meet the needs of the countries by offering tailor-made support in a fast and flexible way.

These activities are coordinated by the Regional Advisor and carried out by the UNECE Statistical Division, in collaboration with national and international statistical organizations to ensure the best expertise and avoid duplication of work.

We also promote international standards in official statistics with a view to providing relevant, reliable and comparable data to policymakers and users of statistics.

Recent technical cooperation activities include:

• Promotion of the United Nations Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics
• Improvement of statistical literacy
• Technical support for population and housing censuses
• Development of gender statistics
• Development of statistics on violence against women
• Development of statistics on international migration
• Improvement of business registers for statistical purposes
• Improvement of the production and dissemination of short-term economic statistics
• Improvement of Millenium Development Goal (MDG) indicators

In addition to statistics, UNECE technical cooperation provides services in the fields of economic cooperation, environment, sustainable energy, trade and transport.
