National Statistics Institute

International cooperation and technical assistance activities play a key role in the institutional strengthening and development of official statistics. Law 12/1989 on Public Statistical Services grants the INE the preparation and performance of the general plans for international technical cooperation in statistics.

The planning and performance of the cooperation plans are carried out based on the general guidelines envisaged by the Board of Management of the INE and the Master Plan for Spanish Cooperation, compiled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation.

The technical cooperation activities fundamentally consist of the teaching of classroom-based and online seminars, of study visits and of technical assistance and internships.
