Integration of data production
This project ,Integration of data production documented the experience of Statistics Canada in integrating its various surveys and data collection activities. The objective of the project was to produce advocacy materials showing the complexity of breaking the "silo production" approach in a statistical agency. Issues faced by Statistics Canada are not fundamentally different from those faced by statistical agencies in low- or middle-income countries and include dependency on external funding and legacy, cultural, and technical obstacles.
