​UNCTAD's "Training Course on Information Economy Statistics" aims to raise awareness and help developing countries improve their statistics on the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) by businesses and on the ICT producing sector. It is part of UNCTAD's contribution to the work of the Partnership on Measuring ICT for Development.

Since its pilot delivery in 2007, UNCTAD has trained some 200 producers of ICT statistics from more than 100 countries. This next edition of the training course will take place from 14 to 18 March 2016, in Bangkok, Thailand. This will be the first such training course focusing on Asia-Pacific least developed countries.

Staff of national statistical offices and other institutions in charge of the production of official statistics on the information economy from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, Kiribati, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Timor-Leste, Tuvalu and Vanuatu will attend the training course.

The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) will host the course, which will be organized by UNCTAD's Division on Technology and Logistics with the financial support of the Government of Sweden.

The training is based on the UNCTAD “Manual for the Production of Statistics on the Information Economy, 2009 Revised Edition” as well as on continuously updated training material and practical exercises.

UNCTAD disseminates data on the information economy through its statistics portal, UNCTADstat.
