The authors and PARIS21 staff conducted an extensive literature review as well as interviews with representatives of a few select national or territorial statistical offices (NSOs) in October 2021. The small number of interviews, however, does not allow to imply any statistically significant representativeness. The interviewed NSOs have, however, been selected based on PARIS21 and the OECD’s experience and shall provide meaningful insights to understand the key challenges that NSOs from low and middle-income countries and territories face towards a successful digital transformation.
