06001 The central aim of the UNESCO Institute for Statistics is to provide Member States with the
data required for evidence-based policymaking. To this end, the UIS produces global statistics
in the fields of education, the sciences, culture and communication and information. In
addition, the Institute strives to improve data quality at the international and national levels
by developing statistical frameworks, classifications and methodologies and reinforcing the
capacities of national statisticians in Member States.
Global Priority Africa
06002 During the biennium, work will take place in Africa across all of the key programme
elements, especially improving the quality of education statistics and indicators where the
regional indicators project will be entering its second year. Training will be conducted for
all countries of sub-Saharan Africa during the biennium. Data quality assessments will be
undertaken in a number of countries.

Global Priority Gender Equality
06003 Guided by the Gender Equality Action Plan for 2008-2013, the UIS will ensure that, where
possible, all data and indicators disseminated are disaggregated by sex or gender parity
index throughout the Institute programme.
06004 The work programme for the 2012-2013 biennium of the UNESCO Institute for Statistics
(UIS) will be based on four main lines of action, which are described below.
Main line of action 1: Development of education indicators and
promotion of data use and analysis
06005 In order to ensure a comprehensive and informative picture of the state of education, the
strategy for the 2012-2013 biennium focuses on improving data quality at both national
and international levels, particularly the comparability, coverage, reliability and timeliness of
cross-nationally comparable indicators.
