Technological tools for the dissemination of disaggregated statistics in the territory

Within the framework of the fifty-fourth session of the United Nations Statistical Commission, the February 27, 2023 the parallel event on technological tools for the dissemination of disaggregated statistics in the territory was held.

The objective of this meeting was to open a space for discussion and exchange to analyze the main achievements, challenges and next steps of the project led by the ECLAC Statistics Division, which seeks to implement a geoportal in the national statistical offices in seven countries of the region. The project has funding from the European Union and the valuable technical support of EUROSTAT based on its experience in this area.

The objective of this project is to have a technological tool that allows the dissemination of disaggregated statistical data in the territory, supports the internal management of statistical and geospatial data in the national statistical offices, and interoperates with other sectoral geospatial platforms at the national level, providing inputs for territorial analysis exercises that support decision-making and public policies in different areas of government.

Authorities from the national statistical offices of Argentina, Costa Rica, Spain, Guatemala, Mexico and the Dominican Republic attended, as well as representatives of CARICOM, Eurostat, IDB, UN-GGIM and the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), who were able to reflect together on the results of the project, seeking to maximize the benefits of the work carried out and project future activities that guarantee its sustainability.
