The IPNOS toolkit is basedon the notion that producing more and better statistics,while requiring adequate resources, should also beefficient. Various initiatives assess national statisticalsystems’ (NSS) and data production. The World Bank’s IPNOSinitiative complements existing kits, providing in-depthanalytical tools to evaluate the efficiency of nationalstatistical offices (NSOs), including costs, data quality,and NSO management.
