欧洲经委会计划制订新的指南，说明国家统计部门如何与其他数据制作者建立伙伴关系，从而保持官方统计数据的独立性和公正性。此外，欧洲经委会正在推动新的工作，以便将各国统计、制图和地理空间机构第五编 区域合作促进发展的专家聚集在一起，分享地理空间和统计信息整合方面的良好做法，这类信息对衡量在可持续发展目标方面取得的进展至关重要。使用地理空间数据是计算很多与环境、土地使用和获取运输手段有关的指标的最高效方式，在统计系统欠发达的国家和难以抵达的地区尤为如此。
ECE plans to develop new guidance on how to establish partnerships between the national statistical office and other data producers in a way that would preserve the independence and impartiality of official statistics. In addition, ECE is advancing new work to bring together experts from national statistical, mapping and geospatial agencies to share good practices in integrating geospatial and statistical information that is crucial for the measurement of progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals. The use of geospatial data is the most efficient way to calculate a number of indicators related to the environment, land use and access to transport, in particular in countries with less developed statistical systems and for hard -to-reach areas.
