Sudan

The cooperation between SN and the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) in Sudan/Khartoum has been ongoing more or less continuously since the population census in 2008. A new 3 year continuation of the institutional cooperation project commenced in 2017/18 and is funded by our embassy to Sudan. The project entails the ongoing development of economic statistics, support to develop registers and national accounts, and technical support for a national household budget survey.

Uganda

In 2015, Statistics Norway and Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) started a cooperation project administered under the Oil for Development Programme (OfD). The statistics component is organised under the Revenue pillar within the Programme and comprises four main areas of activity: oil investment statistics, national accounts, business register for oil and gas sub-sector and institutional cooperation.

Framework agreement with Norad

In addition to our institutional cooperation projects, Statistics Norway also has a framework agreement with the Norwegian aid agency Norad. The agreement includes support to health statistics projects in cooperation with the World Health Organisation (WHO). Norad also supports various projects under the Oil for Development Programme.
