DevStat accompanies a study visit of the Cuban National Statistical office to the Colombian National Statistical Department on the production and use of statistics on self-employed and micro enterprises

DevStat has organized a study visit to Colombian National Statistical Department (DANE) for delegates of the National Statistical office of Cuba (ONEI). The visit took place between the 3-5 May, in the frame of a cooperation project signed between the EC and the FIIAPP (International and Ibero-American Foundation for Administration and Public Policies). Mr. Ricardo Vila, scientific advisor of Devstat, accompanied the 6 representatives from the ONEI during the whole visit.

During the three days, the ONEI delegates could see from a practical point of view, how the DANE addresses the issue of statistics of self-employed and micro-enterprises and what solutions have been created to address the challenges that come from the emergence of new economic structures.

The visit covered issues such as: micro-enterprises surveys, the Integrated households survey but also field visits to see first-hand how interviews are carried out and data are gathered.
