In the context of the political decentralisation in Ukraine and the devolution of competences on regional development, DevStat’s CEO José Cervera delivered a presentation on the methodology for the production and analysis of territorial statistical indicators to the staff of GIZ and other international experts in Kiev.

The experience of DevStat in local and regional statistics includes not only the current project in Ukraine, but also the implementation of a 2-year project in Moldova on the production of regional GDP and other statistics, the methodological support to Eurostat in the definition of “labour market areas” and the creation of a database on Local Administrative Units (LAU) lifecycle, and the assessment of regional statistics in Tunisia.
