Go to Praia Group on Governance Statistics
The painstaking work carried out by the Praia Group since its creation in 2015 to develop a statistical framework on Governance has borne fruit in a significant way. In March 2023, the UN Statistical Commission endorsed an updated Classification of Statistical Activities (CSA 2.0) which includes Governance as a new domain of official statistics. The statistical areas in this new domain follow the general structure outlined in the Handbook on Governance Statistics developed by the Praia Group and endorsed by the UN Statistical Commission in March 2020. This new classification effectively means that Governance is no longer an ‘experimental’ area of statistics but sits on par with economic, demographic and social statistics in the official statistical nomenclature. The endorsed CSA 2.0 also recognizes Human Rights as a new cross-cutting domain of statistics, relevant to governance statistics as well as other domains.
