New initiatives by IONew initiatives by IOss
• Proposal by UNIDO for joint project implementation;
• Proposal by UNU to develop a Planned Initiative on Regional Cooperation;
• Proposal by UIS to develop a Framework for Cooperation on STI;
• Proposal by IRTI to conduct a Joint Training Programme on Project Risk Management
ECO-UNIDO project proposal • Lead institution: Industry Ministries, IPA• Verification process: NSOs, NSBs, CB/NB• 3 components:
Output 1(i) Methodologies(ii) Establishment of NSC(iii) Data collection(iv) Analytical reports(v) IMP to host data and set up linkages
Output 2
• Issue of manuals on use of surveys data to enhance research;
• Training for generation of policy papers; • Capacity building in preparation of customized
reports for investors
Regional Statistical Programme to underpin FDI, Agro-Industry, STI - (RSP-FAIn-STI)
1. To invigorate statistics in ECO region by equipping it to face the challenges of future applications.
2. To see to innovative new theories and methodologies – core statistics for the 21st century.
3. To aim generic challenges raised by ‘data revolution’ in finance & investment, agro-industrial development, science & technology.
Suggested OutlineSuggested Outline
concurrent effects in priority areas
• Strengthening quality of cross-sector data• Achieving greater cross sector inter-dependence
on operations• Improved technological equipment of data
collection• Cross sector comparability in data collection with
focus on finance and investment and agro-industries (NSO, CB/NB, Sector=Interoperability)
Need for NSOs’ suggestions on new Need for NSOs’ suggestions on new project/programme proposalsproject/programme proposals
• Formal letter indicating the following aspects:
1.Specific interest in FDI, Agro-In & STI; 2.Requests for workshops/activities/output
publications on specific statistical data;3.Suggestions on the format and number of
components in the regional programme
ECO-UIS Framework of Cooperation ECO-UIS Framework of Cooperation
• Projects – concept outlines from Member States in order to formulate project proposals.
• Workshops – suggestions on whether these be thematic, training or interactive.
• Activities - ? Study visits? IP? Brainstorming via Video-Conferencing?

Priorities in Statistics ResearchPriorities in Statistics Research
1. Execution of regionally recognized high-class statistical research resulting in key publications;
2. Recommendations for ECO decision making bodies (COM, RPC, EPG, Summits) based on those research outputs which show the highest potential (in BoP statistics as an example);
3. Research development and career progression of post-doctoral ECO LEXES;
4. Interaction with external groups both within ECO region and beyond.
1. Identifying Methodological Challenges for the Region
2. Other Suggestions????
