The ICBS leads the National Statistical System (NSS) in Israel as it is the main producer of official statistics in the country. It collaborates with government ministries and other public institutions who, under the Statistics Ordinance, are also authorized to produce official statistics.
The ICBS is an integral part of the international statistics community and as such, it coordinates the transfer of statistical data from the entire Israeli statistical system to international organizations, in accordance with agreed-upon standards.
This twining project will further enhance the professionalism of the NSS by improving the quality of statistics, the coordination within the NSS, and by an effective, user-oriented planning.
