The UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) is inviting the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) to establish a partnership to enhance UIS activities in the Pacific in order to address some of the key statistical challenges faced by the region. In particular, the UIS is seeking to improve international and regional monitoring of education through increased capacity support to Member States and the Regional EMIS Facility.

This proposal is based on close consultation with national and regional statistical authorities and is closely aligned with the priorities identified in the UIS Medium-Term Strategy 2014-2021, which was approved by the Institute's Governing Board. Given the complex nature of statistical work, the UIS is seeking to establish a multi-year agreement with DFAT in order to build a stable financial base required to execute this work efficiently.
