|
|
The Planning Council, in cooperation with the Economic and Social
Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), is organizing a third symposium on
“Statistics for Development: A Dialogue between Users and Producers of
Statistics”, in Doha, Qatar, during the period 5-7 June 2006. The
symposium is to build on the results of the successful symposiums held
in Doha in May 2004 and 2005 under the same title.
The symposium aims at increased interaction and cooperation between the
users and producers of statistics at the national level, enhancing the
role of statistics in and contribution towards national development, and
increasing awareness of the function and significance of statistics. It
aims also at a review of the present status of national statistical
organization and outputs, and the further development of the strategy
for improvement that emanated from the 2004 and 2005 symposiums.
The symposium is a national event that will host representatives of
national users and producers of statistics, as well as representatives
of a number of international statistical organizations and national
statistical offices of member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
Tentatively, the first day will be devoted to opening ceremony and the
presentations of outside speakers. The second day will be allocated to
round-table discussions between users and producers of statistics in
Qatar, in which visiting experts will take an active part, and in which
several areas of mutual interest will be covered, notably among them:
demand, availability and needs of statistics; data analysis and
interpretation, human development indices; millennium development goals;
gender, poverty and environment statistics; and a statistics strategy
for the future. |
