Studying statistics for social inclusion

Poland/Moldova, 6 August 2008 – In an attempt to share relevant development experience, UNDP organized a study tour to Poland for Moldovan civil servants from 16-20 June 2008. Moldovan professionals learned from their Polish counterparts about the collection and use of data in developing and monitoring social inclusion policies. Through the EU accession process, several countries in the region have recently introduced ways of monitoring levels and forms of people’s exclusion from broad socio-economic development trends.

Social inclusion has thus far been poorly understood by policy-makers and others in Moldova, with related measurements also being undeveloped. This tour was an opportunity to meet bodies in Poland involved in monitoring social inclusion, including at national level the National Statistical Office (GUS), ministries and government agencies and think tanks; and at local level, data administration agencies and experts involved in implementing local monitoring systems.
