National Statistical Offices (NSOs) provide official statistics as a public good that all kinds of users build on for various decision-making processes. However, in the rapidly evolving, data-rich ecosystems, where emerging participants, data sources, and technologies are transforming information systems, NSOs are to partner up with citizens and other stakeholders to keep up with innovations and information demands.
Thus, in order to improve decision-making for all, NSOs must leverage their relationship with citizens and data users to better navigate data production and governance challenges, foster capacity development, and promote statistical literacy. By doing so, it will help to develop a new social contract around data based on value generation and trust.
It is in this context that the theme “Improving Decision-Making for All” is brought forward. The 2024 IAOS Mexico Conference aims to provide an environment where interested people and institutions can examine said dilemmas and, together, come up with ideas for producing official statistics that contribute to improving decision-making at every level, from policymakers to citizens.
This strand will examine how new data demands offer opportunities for current and future statistical programs.
This strand will explore the best practices for fulfilling the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
This strand will review how statistical offices and data users have adjusted to post-pandemic conditions.
This strand seeks to bring to the limelight the multiple interactions ensuing within a complex data ecosystem, including issues on data stewardship, data sharing and legal frameworks.
This strand proposes to display successful cases and examples in which countries and NSOs are applying the Fundamental Principles in their daily work.
This strand seeks to demonstrate the needs and best practices in how the statistical researchers and the data community, in the public and private sectors, work together to improve statistical literacy and decision-making.
This strand aims to provide the platform for statistical researchers to exchange ideas and disseminate results and to promote innovative research in statistics and data science.
