National Statistical Offices (NSOs) are government agencies responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating statistical data about a country's economy, population, and society. They conduct surveys and censuses to gather information that helps inform public policy, business decisions, and research. NSOs play a crucial role in ensuring that data is accurate, reliable, and accessible to the public. They often collaborate with international organizations, such as the United Nations and World Bank, to maintain standards and share best practices in statistical methods and data reporting.
