The Twinning Project is funded by the European Union, with Istat – the Italian National Institute of Statistics as the MS Lead Partner. The project is implemented in partnership with the State Data Agency (Lithuania) Statistics Finland (Finlandia) as MS Junior Partners and the Italian Geographical Society (SGI) as technical partner and responsible for the project financial management.
The objective of the project is to strengthen the Palestinian National Statistical System (PNSS) as the authoritative and trusted source of data, thereby empowering informed decision-making across all sectors in Palestine. The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) is the beneficiary institution.
The Resident Twinning Adviser (RTA), a full-time Istat official seconded to Palestine, oversees day-to-day implementation of the project, working in close collaboration with her Palestinian counterpart and under the coordination of the MS Project Leader based in Italy.
To support this work, the RTA is expected to be assisted by an RTA Assistant (project administration and coordination)
