The Committee for the Coordination of Statistical Activities (CCSA)[1] is composed of international and supranational organisations whose mandate includes the provision of statistics. The CCSA promotes inter-agency coordination and cooperation on statistical programmes and consistency in statistical practices and development.
As a forum of committed members, the CCSA's purpose is to foster good practices in the statistical activities of international and supranational organisations, in accordance with the principles governing international statistical activities.[2] Its members contribute actively to the development of a coordinated global statistical system producing and disseminating high-quality statistics.[3]
The CCSA Secretariat and CCSA website[4] are hosted by the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD). The Committee meets twice a year and is represented by the top level of the statistical services of its member organisations.
