Join us for the Praia Group’s 2025 Members’ Meeting as we explore the future of governance statistics in a rapidly evolving data landscape. With the adoption of Governance as a new domain in the 2023 Classification of Statistical Activities (CSA 2.0), the Praia Group’s mission has gained renewed momentum.
This year's meeting will feature a forward-looking dialogue on governance statistics and the role of National Statistical Offices (NSOs). Experts and members will discuss emerging priorities, such as:
- Staying relevant in a data-rich world
- Governance statistics in the next 10-20 years
- Using governance statistics to strengthen public trust in NSOs
We will also share updates from the Praia Group’s Task Teams on Participation and Non-Discrimination, including lessons from survey field tests and new guidance on using administrative data.
Help shape the path forward as we reflect on the Group’s second term and consider priorities for the years ahead.
The meeting took place virtually and in English (recording and presentations are available on this page).
