The objectives of the EGM are primarily to identify gaps in statistical capacity building across institutions in member countries and at the OIC level, and to find ways and means to coordinate data collection activities so as to harmonize and streamline statistical information for translating, monitoring and evaluating the goals and targets set in all the OIC/IDB initiatives. Additionally, it is also to develop a common framework for statistical capacity program.

Dr. Sıdıka Başçı, Seniour Researcher at the Statistical Department of the Center attended the meeting and made a presentation titled " Statistical Capacity Building Activities for OIC Member Countries":
