Introduction

The Planning and Statistics Authority (PSA) is keen to communicate annually with the coordinators, partners and providers of statistical data, as it holds an annual meeting with the coordinators, partners and providers of statistical data, in order to support the satisfaction of both parties' needs. This year, PSA will hold its annual meeting via an online workshop entitled: “Role of Technology and Concept Unification in Facilitating Statistical Data Exchange” on Tuesday, 9 November 2021. The workshop will involve mixed attendance, whether through personal attendance or virtual participation. The attendees in the 20th floor of the PSA building shall be limited to the PSA staff along with the honored persons concerned with the "Rased Platform". Moreover, communication with participants from outside Qatar, as well as candidates from ministries and governmental and private bodies, will be via the Internet in accordance with the decisions of Qatar's Supreme Committee for Crisis Management.

The importance of cooperation among the various sectors in Qatar is an essential basis for supporting the process of data production, as PSA seeks to cover all economic, social, and demographic fields in order to achieve Qatar National Vision 2030. PSA coordinates continuously with all parties with regard to providing it with the required data and information. In the process of data sharing with entities or individuals, PSA depends on the following technical means: Annual letters to request statistical data from various agencies, surveys, the process of electronic linkage with some data sources and data-producing agencies, which facilitates the direct flow of up-to-date data.

Various presentations will be made on various topics and the latest developments in the statistical process, through the latest achievements of persons concerned in the PSA, with the participation of the coordinators of the source agencies in all sectors of the country.
