This project improves the ability of Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries' national statistics agencies to provide solid and credible social and economic statistics to policy makers for use in the development of customized programs to improve the social and economic well-being of Caribbean women and men, boys and girls. It supports activities in 14 National Statistics Organisations (NSOs) and regional institutions. Some of these activities include: (1) mentoring 270 officers from national and regional statistics offices and set up placements in NSOs on international best practices for national accounts; (2) coaching of 270 persons on internationally recognized methods and tools for social and economic surveys; (3) developing statistics centres of excellence in the region; and (4) training to improve data use and dissemination.
