Many developing countries would require significant technical assistance.

It also supported the formation of a “friends of the chair” group to work out modalities for establishing an integrated statistics system. • Confirmed that the scope of a capacity-building programme on integrated statistics and its ramifications for coordination and global governance extends beyond the mandate of the Working Group. • Recognized that countries should take ownership of the required actions for strengthening the statistical production process.
