PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Eurostat collaborates with 11 countries in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia (EECCA) to support statistical cooperation and harmonization. This initiative which is financed by the European Union aims to help Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan align their statistical systems with European and international standards. The objective is to ensure the gradual convergence of their economic and social data, making it more harmonized and comparable.

ICON has been contracted to organize six specialized training courses for the national statistical offices of EECCA countries. These courses, inspired by the European Statistical Training Programme (ESTP), are tailored to the region's specific needs. They will be conducted in English or Russian, with interpretation provided as needed. The training focuses on capacity building, equipping participants with practical skills and theoretical knowledge applicable to the daily processes of data production and dissemination. ICON’s tasks:

- Designing the training programme, including the development of tailored training materials.

- Delivering the training sessions, ensuring accessibility in both English and Russian.

- Developing training curricula that align with international statistical norms and methodologies.

- Implementing quality assurance measures to ensure the effectiveness of the training.

- Conducting project monitoring and evaluation to assess impact and areas for improvement.

- Preparing comprehensive reports to document the training outcomes and recommendations.
