Establish Statistics Bureau in 1948 (birth year of the Korean Government) and set up the national statistical system
Produce solid economic statistics to support national development policy during the condensed development period (1960-1990)
Strengthen local statistical offices to assist government-led regional development

Why is SCB important?
Developing countries need high quality statistics for “evidence-based policy making and monitoring.”*cf. Only 96 out of 192 countries have capacity to produce MDG statistics at an adequate level. (UNSC 2011 출처 )
With emphasis on “managing for results,” developing countries need to compile and maintain statistical information on their own. - Busan Forum addresses performance management. - OECD, UN, World Bank stress statistical capacity building in DCs to effectively measure ODA effectiveness
To support the “shared growth” initiative, we need to measuredevelopment progress of individual countries and the World.

Promote ww dialogue on global agenda
Provide venues for int’l congregations on major statistical issues, concerns - Cutting-edge themes Green economy indicators (w/UNSD) Innovative approaches to turn statistics into knowledge (w/OECD) Measurement of wellbeing and progress of societies (w/OECD)
- Topics of ongoing interest Population and housing census: Measurement and operational issues ICT statistics …
- IT use for official statistics Internet use as a data collection mode Management of statistical information system

Diversify Bilateral Cooperation Partners
Expand bilateral cooperation efforts to the world-wide including CIS, Middle East, Central and South America and Africa (Global leadership role currently limited within Asia)
13 on-going bilateral cooperation partners:China, Japan, Mongolia, Thailand, Vietnam,
IndonesiaKazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Iran, UAE,

Advancement of Statistical Methods
Contribute to advancement of statistical methods and activities through close interaction with UN, OECD and Eurostat - Korea-EU Joint Report on Comparability (Late 2011) - Facilitate expert group activities for individual area (Household, SNA, Human Capital, Country Assessment) of OECD Committee on Statistics
Nurture statistical personnel by expanding dispatchment of KOSTAT specialists to international organizations - International organizations: OECD, IRENA, World Bank - NSIs: Australia, Japan, etc.
Participate actively in various international conferences and meetings on statistics to apply newly acquired knowledge in statistical administration - Contribute to global statistical community and inform global trend to domestic audience

Future Direction of KOSTAT ODA
Expand tailored program
s
•Support capacity building in compiling indicators to measure MDGs with consideration of each developing country’s characteristics.
•Administer customized programs for each country •Build statistical information system, internet survey system, etc. with
consideration of recipient country's ICT situation and needs.
•Concentrate around ICT-based data collection system (i.e. Internet survey, PDA survey) and one-stop statistical data access system, data visualization (KOSIS, GSBPM, Statistical GIS, G20 dashboard)
•Support for developing countries’ statistical system on nurturing statistical personnel and SCB
•Support for training facilities, programs and e-learning system.
Build on KOSTAT
strengths & best
practices
•Technical cooperation is a must for SCB and to sustain ODA effectiveness.•ODA without SCB of recipient countries cannot guarantee sustainable
statistical growth.•“Technical cooperation and consulting” will be significantly expanded for
sharing of Korea’s experiences and knowledge in statistical development.
Expand technical
cooperation projects
