Technical cooperation/assistance to countries
Data collection/dissemination
Methodological work
Coordination/cooperation with other international/regional organizations

Organization of Workshops covering the various stages of the statistical production process
(e.g. institutional framework, data collection and data compilation, energy balances, data dissemination)
Development of standard training modules for workshops and online materials
Fostering sharing of country practices
(knowledge base platform for energy statistics)

4. Data collection/dissemination
We are revising (almost completed) our UNSD questionnaire to align it with IRES and harmonize it with the IEA/Eurostat/ECE questionnaire
Future work
Explore possibilities for facilitate country data submission using SDMX
Improve data dissemination on the web through, for example, the use of interactive tools

5. Methodological work
Continue the work on improving the links between CPC and SIEC
Prepare a small publication on SIEC where the correspondence with other classifications is further elaborated
Once the ESCM is completed, identify areas which may need additional and more detailed guidance
(renewable energy sources, measurement units, etc.)
Explore links between energy statistics to other statistical domains

6. Coordination with other organizations
Continue our participation in InterEnerStat, Oslo Group, JODI
Coordinate activities (training, data collection, etc.) with partner organizations IEA, IAEA, Eurostat…
