6. 6 Use of the statistical production process framework by UNSD Two of the UNSD’s main roles are to:Two of the UNSD’s main roles are to: Develop methodological standards (e.g. ISIC Rev4, IRIS 2008); andDevelop methodological standards (e.g. ISIC Rev4, IRIS 2008); and Provide technical assistance.Provide technical assistance. The statistical production process framework will allow for a structured approach to the provision of technical assistance so countries can achieve the necessary methodological standards.The statistical production process framework will allow for a structured approach to the provision of technical assistance so countries can achieve the necessary methodological standards. To achieve this, we need to determine the current status of countries and then assist countries to move towards the new standards.To achieve this, we need to determine the current status of countries and then assist countries to move towards the new standards.
