Activities Deliverables Increased capacity of NSIs

& other statistical bodies in the production and dissemination of more consistent energy statistics, balances & indicators

Harmonisation of standards & methodologies for energy statistics & balances in line with European & international norms

Increased use of statistics in energy policy and decision making in the region.

Results

Success Indicators• Sustainability: Do the PCs have the capacity to continue after the

project?• Improvement in data quality• Continuity in statistical staff/increase in number of people working

in statistics• Higher profile for statisticians: e.g. place of statisticians in the

institutional situation; greater participation in meetings on policy and decision making

• Regulatory initiatives/ improved legal framework supporting statistics

• Increased use of statistics in policy and decision making• Increased level of commitment among policy and decision makers

to energy statistics• Improvement in capacity acquired by statistical staff during the

period• Number of publications/improved data dissemination

Status: Inception Phase• Identification of specific contact persons in statistical institutes and

other key statistical stakeholders in all PC’s/ potential members of statistics network/statistician(NSI)+policy analyst (MOE)

• Research and compilation of past and on-going projects related to statistics for all 11 Partner Countries (done for 10 PC´s)

• Drafting Action Plans for PC’S (on-going for Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia)

• Inception Visits: Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia/assessment of current energy statistics situation in PC’s; identification of areas of cooperation on D2: awareness raising, D3: capacity building, D4: networking
