      Every Number Tells a Story

      Bosnian students use statistics and videos to share their vision for the future., 11 April 2025 15:00 , By , Klaus Munch Haagensen, For most Europeans, the European Union is simply a part of daily life. It’s in the freedom to travel without borders, the shared regulations like those concerning plastic bottle caps, and the routine of voting every few years. Yet for many, the EU remains in the background - something that quietly shapes lives rather than dominates them., But for Bosnia and Herzegovina, a candidate country for EU membership, the path toward integration is very much in the foreground. As part of efforts to prepare the country’s statistical system for EU accession, Statistics Denmark, in collaboration with partners from Finland, Italy, and Slovenia, launched a unique initiative aimed at the next generation.,  , Facts about the project, This initiative is part of a Twinning project focused on enhancing the statistical capacity of Bosnia and Herzegovina across five key areas: , Business Statistics, Tourism Satellite Accounts (TSA), Information and Communication Technology Statistics (ICT), Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (SILC), and , Monthly Balance of Payments Statistics. , The project is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026. , You can read more about the project here, ., Under the headline "Every Number Tells a Story – And We Are Listening," a national video competition was held for 18–19-year-old students from secondary schools across Bosnia and Herzegovina. Their task: create a two-minute video using official statistics from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Eurostat to tell a story of their choosing., The top 10 finalists presented their videos to a jury in Sarajevo on April 9. The themes were as diverse as the students themselves, covering topics such as demographics, gender, tourism, violent deaths, and living conditions. Yet one thread ran through them all - a desire for a better future. As one team from the Mixed Secondary School “Hasan Kikić” in Gradačac put it: “To Dream, to Build, to Change.”, This message of hope stood in contrast to the realities highlighted by official statistics, which continue to show inequalities both within Bosnia and Herzegovina and in comparison to EU member states. But as the competition showed, the first step to change is understanding the present - and numbers help tell that story., Through their work, students not only learned how to interpret and present statistical data, but also how to use that data to communicate powerful, meaningful messages about their society and their future., The winning entry, came from the Mixed Secondary School in Busovača, which told a compelling story about Gross Domestic Product (GDP) statistics in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the EU., You can watch the top 3 videos below:, GDP is to blame, Overuse of the Internet,  , Marriages and divorces

      Denmark Launches New Strategic Sector Cooperation Initiatives

      Statistics Denmark is among the Danish authorities preparing to launch new projects under the Strategic Sector Cooperation (SSC) modality in the second half of 2025., 9 April 2025 13:30 , By , Klaus Munch Haagensen, Denmark is expanding its international development efforts with a new round of Strategic Sector Cooperation (SSC) projects, initiated by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. These initiatives align with the Denmark's evolving foreign, development, and economic diplomacy policies, with particular emphasis on the Government’s “Africa’s Century” vision., Among the Danish authorities preparing to launch new SSC projects in the second half of 2025 is Statistics Denmark, which will focus on supporting the green transition. This will be achieved by developing critical primary statistics to facilitate macroeconomic modelling of climate-related policies. , Other authorities set to initiate new SSC collaborations include the Ministry of the Interior and Health, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Danish Patent and Trademark Office., The SSC instrument has become a cornerstone of Denmark’s international engagement strategy. It fosters equal partnerships between Danish public authorities and their counterparts in key developing countries - including nations in the European Union’s neighborhood - through the sharing of expertise in areas such as policy development, regulation, enforcement, and public-private collaboration., The primary objective of the SSC is to build the capacity of partner authorities to improve policy frameworks and enhance the delivery of public services. These efforts aim to promote inclusive, sustainable economic growth and support the global green transition., Secondary objectives, include strengthening bilateral relations, advancing climate diplomacy, and laying the groundwork for future commercial cooperation involving Danish technology and know-how., To support these efforts, sector counsellors are stationed at Danish embassies to coordinate projects, align them with the partner country’s priorities, and integrate them into the broader bilateral relationship. This strategic approach ensures that the SSC not only contributes to local development but also reinforces Denmark’s international presence in key sectors., More details, including the announcement of Statistics Denmark’s new partner country and insights into how sector cooperation projects are launched, will be shared in the next edition of our newsletter., Statistics Denmark already has projects in Ghana, Morocco and Vietnam under the Strategic Sector Cooperation modality. You can read more about the exisitng projects here: , ghana-2024-2026, morocco-2024-2026, vietnam-2022-2024, Facts about Strategic Sector Cooperation, – the aid- and development-oriented modality, 18 countries:, South and North America: Brazil, Colombia and Mexico, Africa: Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria and South Africa, Asia: Bangladesh, China, India, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam, Europe: Ukraine and Türkiye,  , As of 2024, 11 Danish authorities are partners in the Strategic Sector Cooperation., 54 Strategic Sector Cooperation agreements have been concluded., 62 sector counsellors are posted at Danish embassies abroad – and more are on the way in selected high-income countries.

      Advancing Environmental Statistics in Ghana

      Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) together with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is working hard on establishing green national accounts., 19 August 2024 15:00 ,  , The development of robust statistics on environmental goods and services is crucial for understanding the economic contribution of initiatives focused on environmental protection and resource management. These statistics, which form part of the broader system of environmental-economic accounting- often referred to as "green national accounts" - offer valuable insights into the economic activities related to green goods and services. As countries worldwide prioritize sustainability, the ability to measure and report on these areas becomes increasingly important., In July, Ghana made significant progress in this area. Two experts from Statistics Denmark visited Accra to collaborate with representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Ghana Statistical Services (GSS). Their mission was to develop a strategy for data collection and design effective questionnaires. This visit followed a previous mission that introduced key concepts related to environmental statistics, fostered understanding within the local context, and discussed potential implementation strategies., During the same week, the Executive Director of Ghana's EPA met with the experts from Statistics Denmark to discuss the implementation of the System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA) in Ghana. The meeting underscored the critical role of collaboration between the EPA and Ghana Statistical Services (GSS) in advancing sustainable development. Over the coming years, GSS and EPA, with the support of Statistics Denmark, will focus on Water and Waste accounts to drive informed decision-making and promote a more sustainable future for Ghana., The second mission from Statistics Denmark yielded notable progress. Among the key outcomes was an enhanced understanding of the revised Classification of Environmental Purposes (CEP) among the Ghanaian partners. This classification is essential for accurately categorizing and measuring environmental expenditures. The partners also agreed to combine data collection efforts with the existing Business Survey (IBES 2). This approach is expected to streamline the process and ensure more comprehensive data collection., A critical aspect of the mission involved discussions on how to structure the questionnaire, which will be a primary tool in gathering the necessary data. These discussions culminated in an agreement on an ambitious action plan, with a target date set for publishing the statistics on green goods and services by the end of January 2026., This collaboration between Ghana and international experts from Statistics Denmark is part of the  Strategic Sector Cooperation scheme financed by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The collaboration represents a significant stride toward developing a reliable and comprehensive framework for environmental-economic accounting in the country. As Ghana continues to integrate these practices, the resulting data will be invaluable for shaping policies and strategies that support sustainable development and environmental stewardship.,  , You can read more about our different projects under the Strategic Sector Cooperation scheme here: ,  , Ghana, Morocco, Vietnam

      Launching a statistical databank is not an everyday event

      Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) has launched their PX-web based databank called StatsBank Ghana, 1 September 2023 13:00 ,  , Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) launched their PX-web based databank before the summer vacation in a low-key way. Since then significant amounts of data have been added. To celebrate this and to launch the StatsBank Ghana to academia GSS arranged a High-level Academic Event and a “Hackathon” together with the University of Ghana and the Regional Institute for Population Studies., Over two days teams of students worked extremely concentrated to turn data from the GSS StatsBank into new knowledge. Knowledge and information helping to explain daily life in Ghana.  Over the coming months GSS will arrange similar “Hackathons” with other universities. The best teams will then meet later in the year and compete again., The StatsBank Ghana mainly contains data from the 2021 housing and population census but also economic data on subjects like trade and inflations. , The purpose of the “hackathon” is not for students to compete, but mainly to demonstrate to academia and policy planners how the data can be turned into new knowledge by everyone with an internet connection. Secondly, it helps demonstrate the immense value to society of making data freely available in a machine-readable form. , Although statistical databases may sound both abstract and boring they greatly facilitate informed decision-making among politicians and planners and they help citizens understand the world they live in., The University of Ghana Hackathon was won by team “Beta” who created a dashboard on youth unemployment in relation to the UN Sustainable Development Goal #8 - Decent work and economic growth. , Read more about the Hackathon and team Beta at , https://www.graphic.com.gh/tech-news/team-beta-triumphs-in-36hour-hackathon-by-ghana-statistical-service-and-statistics-denmark.html, You can try out the StatsBank Ghana at , https://statsbank.statsghana.gov.gh/pxweb/en/, Building on the StatsBank API GSS has launched a Digital Census Atlas. API meaning Applied Programming Interface, which makes it possible to access, process and display data i.e. from the StatsBank Ghana in various ways. The atlas shows indicators related to the 2021 Census on a scalable map. Each thematic map allows the users to extract the data from the StatsBank for further analysis., Access to the Census Atlas: , https://phc-geospatial-results.netlify.app/, The GSS StatsBank is build on the open source tool – PX-Web. Launching the StatsBank was an important milestone in the phase I of the Strategic Sector Cooperation between The Danish Embassy, Statistics Denmark and the Ghana Statistical Service. The Strategic Sector Cooperation projects are financed by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs., For further information about the project get in touch with Project Manager Jesper Ellemose Jensen (, jej@dst.dk, ) or the international consulting unit of Statistics Denmark.

      Calling African Statistical Institutes

      The European Pan African statistics 2 programme is inviting African NSIs to join the presentation on Monday 14th March 2022., 8 March 2022 13:00 ,  ,  , In 2022, Eurostat launched a programme called Pan African Statistics 2 (PAS2) to support the African Union and its members’ statistical systems. This programme, which is a continuation of the PAS1 programme, is structured around several projects among which the following three will be presented during the side event: two grants coordinated by EU National Statistical Institutes (Insee-France and Statistics Denmark) and one service contract managed by Expertise France (the French agency for international technical cooperation). Together, the three projects will cover a range of statistical domains, with one grant focusing on economic statistics (ECOnomic and BUSiness statistics in AFrica- ECOBUSAF), one grant focusing on social statistics (SOCial STatistics in Africa - SOCSTAF), and the service contract covering both social and economic statistics. The purpose of this side event is to introduce the PAS2 programme to the African NSIs, to provide information about its objectives and content, and inform about the opportunity to participate., While the PAS2 service contract project has mostly a regional approach, ECOBUSAF and SOCSTAF more specifically target individual NSIs. The latter two projects aim at supporting African countries in building their capacities in various statistical domains (National accounts, business registers, demographic, health, education and employment statistics) and in going down the path of statistical integration at the AU level in some statistical domains. New data sources will be investigated together with how to treat them. Various operating modes will be carried out on-line or face-to-face, including technical assistance to specific countries, on-line training courses, workshops and a hackathon. The programmes will coordinate with each other and with other stakeholders in the region and create synergies with other programmes. , The participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and to informally show their interest in participating in the project. ,  , Register for the event,  here, Program:, Pan African Statistics 2, – , a European programme to support better data for better lives in Africa, A Side Event at the United Nations Statistical Commission, Organised by: Eurostat, African Union, INSEE, Statistics Denmark, Statistics Norway and, Expertise France. , The event will be co-chaired by Eurostat and STATAFRIC., Held in English with French interpretation, Thursday 14 march 2022, 9.00-10.30 am (New York) - 3.00-4.30 pm (CET), Time, Agenda point, Comments/speakers, 20 min, Introduction by the co-chairs, overview of the PAS2 programme, by M.

      Nordic webinar on development cooperation

      On February 9, 2022 at 9.30 am a webinar on Data for Development is held. The webinar will provide a Nordic perspective on integrating statistics into development policy making., 25 January 2022 13:00 ,  ,  , The National Statistical Institutions (NSIs) in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland have all been engaged in development cooperation in statistics for several decades. In order to contribute to continuous learning and increased coordination, the development cooperation units in the NSIs have been exchanging experiences and sharing good practice from their work, formally on an annual basis but even more regularly on an informal basis., To increase this coordination and learning, in 2020, a first meeting was held for an external audience, including financing institutions and external partners, with the aim of fostering joint understanding, providing inspiration, and proposing opportunities for concrete cooperation in future work. Since this was experienced as a useful and informative meeting, it was proposed to carry out a similar joint event virtually in 2022., This meeting will focus on the use of data and statistics in policymaking. It’s essential for our partner to ensure that statistics is relevant, in demand and used in order to realise the full potential that statistics can bring to development policymaking. However, it is often considered challenging to work with the user perspective of statistics and to support our partners adequately. This meeting aims to exchange practical experiences and ideas for how to ensure that the final step in the statistics value chain can be reached, and to get input from donors and external partners to help us develop our projects further in this area.,  , Register here,  , Program:, Using data for development, – a Nordic perspective on integrating statistics into development policymaking , 9 February 2022, 9.30-11.30 ,  , Time                            , Agenda point, Comments/speakers, 9.30-9.35, Check-in, Denmark to host the meeting, 9.35-9.45, The Nordic model for statistical capacity development – how has it changed over the years to focus more on the user perspective, Mr Stefan Andersson, Head of International Cooperation, Statistics Sweden , 9.45-10.30, Panel discussion:, Moderated by Mr Timo Koskimäki, Director of International Affairs at Statistics Finland, Including Q&A, Mr James L Donovan, Senior Policy Specialist, Swedish International Development Agency Sida , Mr Henrik Hansen, Professor, , Institute of Economics, University of Copenhagen, member of the Development Economics Research Group, Mr Geir Øvensen, Senior Advisor, Norad, Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation, Mr Miikka Paajavuori, Senior Officer, Ministry for Foreign Affairs Finland , 10.30-10.50, About wage negotiations, data needs and trust in data.

      Asymmetries in statistics on International Trade in Goods

      Trustworthy, consistent and comparable figures about the level and the development of international trade in goods are extremely important for both economically and political reasons. When Georgia entered into the Free Trade Area with the EU in 2014, it was expected to have a positive influence on the trade between EU and Georgia., 19 October 2021 14:00 ,  , Trustworthy, consistent and comparable figures about the level and the development of international trade in goods are extremely important for both economically and political reasons. When Georgia entered into the Free Trade Area with the EU in 2014, it was expected to have a positive influence on the trade between EU and Georgia. It has been more than difficult to get a consistent picture of the trade between the two areas because of the huge differences (asymmetries) in statistics on trade in goods published by Eurostat and Geostat (National Statistics Office of Georgia) respectively. The differences have been both concerning the level and – even more worrying – also the trend in trade. , A fruitful and intensive 2-year cooperation between Geostat and Danish experts from Statistics Denmark in the frame of the Twinning project , Strengthening the Capacity of the Georgian Statistical System, has now resulted in a comprehensive report describing the nature, reasons and possible solutions to these asymmetries. The report is an important input to understanding asymmetries and how to handle them in the future “, Link, ”.  , Georgia’s geographical location on the shore of the Black Sea means that many goods traded between countries in Europe and mainly Armenia and Azerbaijan are transiting through Georgia. The European traders/custom are in many cases not aware that the specific imported/exported good is only transiting in Georgia and is therefore incorrectly reporting the good as being imported/exported from/to Georgia. Incorrect reporting of goods that are only transiting through Georgia are by far the major reason for the asymmetries according to the report prepared by the project, which has analysed in depths the methodology applied to trade in goods statistics in Georgia, the concepts applied and the practical data collection.  , The analysis thereby also implies that the Georgian data in the cases where goods are transiting in Georgia, are more likely to be correct than Eurostat’s data as the asymmetry appears due to incorrect declaration of country of origin (when EU is importing) and country of final destination (when goods are exported from the EU). In many of these cases, the hypothesis was supported by mirror analysis carried out on data from Azerbaijan, Armenia and Turkmenistan, which showed similar asymmetries in trade data with the EU. , Asymmetries might be caused by methodological reasons, as well as by data errors. A thorough review of the compilation of international trade in goods in Geostat has revealed a sound methodology applied in Geostat’s compilation of International Trade Statistics and great awareness of international standards. The analysis also indicates that there might be a few issues concerning the so-called trade system, volatile currency, high exemption threshold for export, imputation of missing import of cars and misclassifications of commodities, all of which are more or less out of the hands of Geostat, and more importantly, are minor issues in the big asymmetry picture. , Data errors are by far the biggest problem detected. A good understanding and overview of the nature and major sources of the data errors were obtained from structured in depths microlevel analysis involving a lot of correspondence with colleagues from 6 different EU National Statistical Offices and to some extent local importers/exporters. A lot of hard work remains to reduce the asymmetries in the future, requiring most of all careful training of individual data reporters concerning the importance of indicating the correct country of origin/country of final destination.
