Developed to address the challenges countries face in producing accurat e and harmonized trade in services statistics\, TiSSTAT facilitates improv ed survey design\, data collection\, data cleaning\, and reporting. By ena bling a more systematic approach to data management\, TiSSTAT supports pol icymakers in making informed decisions that enhance the competitiveness of their economies.As part of the United Nations Development Account project “Strengthening capacity for evidence-based policymaking and the economi c resilience of CARICOM” and in response to requests from countries\, a TiSSTAT Playground has been developed\, allowing countries to explore its environment and functionalities before making a commitment to full install ation. This strategic initiative aims to ensure that countries can assess the system’s relevance\, benefits\, and feasibility for national impleme ntation without requiring immediate deployment.ObjectiveThe main objective of the training is to guide participating countries through the TiSSTAT P layground\, enabling them to explore its functionalities and understand ho w it can enhance trade in services data collection. By providing hands-on experience with the system\, the training aims to help countries evaluate its relevance and potential benefits for their national statistical proces ses\, ensuring a smooth transition to full-scale implementation.As part of its phased implementation strategy\, UNCTAD has developed the TiSSTAT Pla yground and structured online training sessions to strengthen the capacity of countries before full-scale implementation and software deployment. Th is approach allows countries to familiarize themselves with the system in a controlled environment\, building confidence and ensuring they are well- prepared for the transition to the full version of TiSSTAT. The explorer a nd online training sessions are designed to gather user feedback\, refine the system based on real-world experiences\, and ensure a more effective a nd tailored rollout.By allowing countries to explore TiSSTAT in advance\, UNCTAD ensures a more effective and customized implementation strategy\, m aximizing the impact of the full-scale deployment.
