Statistics

During 2007, the United Nations continued its work in the area of statistics mainly through the activities of the Statistical Commission and the United Nations Statistics Division. In March, the Statistical Commission adopted the Principles and Recommendations for Population and Housing Censuses, Revision 2; the System of Environmental and Economic Accounting for Water; and the package of recommendations on the update of the System of National Accounts, 1993. The Commission recognized the importance of statistical capacity-building and the need for continuous improvement of the statistics required to track progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (mdgs). It also approved its draft multi-year programme of work for 2007-2010.
