The UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) is the statistical office of UNESCO and is the primary UN depository for cross-nationally comparable statistics on education, science and technology, culture, and communication covering more than 200 countries and territories. The UIS was established in 1999. Based in Montreal, Canada, it was created to improve UNESCO's statistical programme and to develop and deliver the timely, accurate and policy-relevant statistics needed in today’s increasingly complex and rapidly changing social, political and economic environments.〔http://www.uis.unesco.org/AboutUIS/Documents/Basic%20text-en.pdf〕 The Institute serves Member states of UNESCO, as well as inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations, research institutes, universities and citizens interested in high-quality data. The UIS is the primary source of education, literacy and science data for leading publications and databases, such as: EFA Global Monitoring Report, World Development Indicators and World Development Report (World Bank), Human Development Report (UNDP), State of the World’s Children (UNICEF), among others. Gender-based indicators are systematically integrated into all UIS data collections in order to monitor trends in women’s and girls’ education, literacy and the role of women in science. ==Services== * Collecting, producing and analysing relevant, cross-nationally comparable data on UNESCO’s fields of competence; * Developing and maintaining appropriate methodologies and standards that reflect the challenges faced by countries at all stages of development; * Reinforcing the capacities of national statistical offices and line ministries to produce and use high-quality statistics; * Applying the highest professional standards which entail transparency, accountability and the most efficient use of resources; and * Responding to the statistical needs of stakeholders, while providing access to UIS data to a wide range of users. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「UNESCO Institute for Statistics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
