Technical Cooperation

UNIDO’s technical cooperation programme began immediately after the 1983 World Programme of Industrial Statistics. UNIDO designed the special National Industrial Statistics Programme (NISP) package for developing systems to collect basic industrial statistics on priority data items prescribed by the World Programme. UNIDO undertook NISP projects in many countries of Africa and Asia. In recent years, the areas of UNIDO expertise for technical cooperation in industrial statistics have become more diverse. Recently completed UNIDO projects include an enterprise survey of the Russian Federation to develop the statistical methods for measuring production of Information Communication Technology (ICT) goods, establishment of a registry system in Sri Lanka and a national industrial census in Ghana.
