Principle 8. National Coordination

Coordination among statistical agencies within countries is essential to achieve consistency and efficiency in the statistical system.

Principle 8 highlights the importance of coordinated action among national statistical authorities to create a unified National Statistical System (NSS). By focusing on efficiency, harmonization, and quality standards, this principle encourages a systematic approach to statistical practices across different sectors and regions, supporting the integrity and public trust in statistical results. By aligning with international standards and fostering collaboration, national coordination improves the comparability and consistency of statistics, making them more relevant globally.
