I am helping deliver consulting services that enable organisations to increase their data capability and know-how by brokering access to specialist knowledge here at Stats NZ and beyond.
Our pilot with Environment Canterbury resulted in a data strategy which they can use to inform their work programme.
We worked with the Ministry for Culture and Heritage to develop a draft set of cultural indicators. This will help them understand who’s accessing government-funded cultural activities and who’s missing out.
We’re also proud to manage and deliver a technical assistance and training programme for statisticians in the Pacific.
In less than a year our trainers have travelled more than 100,000 kilometres to coach and support Pacific statisticians.
In addition, we support a number of these Pacific statisticians to spend five weeks in New Zealand each year to improve and upskill their statistical capability. It’s also a great way to build networks and lasting relationships.
We also work with international organisations with close ties to the Pacific to ensure that we have a co-ordinated and effective approach to training in the region.
