The NSO's National Director, Iván Ojeda, met this Tuesday with geospatial information specialists from ECLAC's Statistics Division. The meeting was held to continue ECLAC's technical assistance to the NSO, with the aim of enhancing the Geostatistical Portal's capabilities as it moves toward version 3.0, with support from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).

This new phase focuses on strengthening the platform's analytical capabilities and adding more tools to improve the use of statistical information. This involves incorporating more interfaces for statistical and geospatial integration from other public institutions and international organizations.

In his remarks, the NSO's National Director noted that statistics must adapt to the rapid technological changes taking place, especially regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence.

For its part, ECLAC emphasized that Paraguay is a regional leader in promoting innovative developments in the integration of statistical and geospatial information, contributing to informed decision-making for the implementation of public policies. This meeting will prioritize the incorporation of tools that can help visualize more accurately the areas exposed to climate vulnerability within the country.

Participants in the meeting included authorities from the NSO, staff from UNFPA Paraguay, and ECLAC specialists
