Ramallah, Saturday, September 23, 2023,

The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) organized a workshop to discuss the preliminary findings of the international evaluation mission of the statistical program 2021-2023, which was held at Mahmoud Darwish Foundation and Museum. The Advisory Council of Official Statistics will review and endorse the findings of the mission in its coming meeting.

On this occasion, H.E. Dr. Ola Awad, President of PCBS, thanked all the parties for their contributions on the success of the mission: the International experts, local, national, and international organizations, as well as PCBS staff, for their commendable efforts.

The mission took seven days to complete its work in Palestine, during which they met with more than 60 different parties that produce and use statistics, including the public and private sectors, academic and scientific research institutions, local community organizations, and international and local partners. Additionally, all PCBS directorates participated in mini-workshops to discuss priority subjects related to the enhancement of the Palestinian statistical system.

PCBS expresses its gratitude and appreciation to the Norwegian Representative Office in Palestine - The Permanent Partner of Palestine's Official Statistics - for their continuous support.
