ST/ESA/STAT/SER.F/88 UNITED NATIONS PUBLICATION Sales No. E.03.XVII.7 ISBN 9211614597 Copyright @ United Nations, 2003   Foreword The first Interregional Seminar on Statistical Organization, sponsored by the United Nations, was held in Ottawa in 1952. Two years later, in 1954, the United Nations published the Handbook of Statistical Organization. In Ottawa in 1973, a second seminar met on the same theme. By 1980, a second edition of the Handbook was ready, which was published under the title, Handbook of Statistical Organization: A Study on the Organization of National Statistical Services and Related Management Issues. Nearly two decades later, at a 1999 data quality seminar co-sponsored by the International Monetary Fund and the United Nations, several countries requested an updated version of the 1980 Handbook. In response to this request, the United Nations has prepared the present volume, Handbook of Statistical Organization, Third Edition: The Operation and Organization of a Statistical Agency. The third edition of the Handbook is largely based on a document prepared by Jacob Ryten under a consulting arrangement with the Statistics Division, Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations. Staff in the Statistics Division as well as an editorial team representing countries from each of the United Nations regional commissions and the International Monetary Fund carried out the initial review of the document. Subsequently, individual chapters were presented at various seminars
