Principles for implementing the project
• A country-tailored implementation process.
• A focus on production, dissemination and final use of statistics.
• A deep involvement of the NSSs of the MED countries.
• A more demand-driven approach.
• Capacity strengthening (ownership and durability).

To conclude… (1)
A regional project is only one possible perspective to contribute to capacity strengthening
An articulation and synergies must be established with other levels: National and International
37Regional Programme of Statistics in the Mediterranean Region MEDSTAT Phase II
This project is funded by the European Union
To conclude… (2)
Main contribution of regional support projects to capacity building in statistics:
• Exchange of experiences and practices among partners with similar problems
• Economy of scale for the development of tailored solutions/tools
• Peer pressure
38Regional Programme of Statistics in the Mediterranean Region MEDSTAT Phase II
This project is funded by the European Union
To conclude… (3)
Key contribution of a EU-funded regional project to capacity building in statistics:
• Comprehensive and harmonized EU statistical system (methods and norms)
• Strengthening of the EU-MED partnership and articulation with other themes/areas of co-operation
• Long standing co-operation schemes with EU member states (bilateral)
