Introduction

Dear Colleagues,

As the COVID-19 pandemic spreads across the globe, our statistical community is facing new challenges. During these trying times, when countries need data more urgently than ever before to plan and monitor emergency response efforts, and prepare for medium- and long-term mitigation and recovery strategies, statistical operations and other office activities are seriously disrupted or interrupted.

Please take a few minutes to respond to this survey. Your responses will allow us and donor agencies to better prepare for the possible disruptions in data collection and transmission and to design assistance strategies more adequately that will benefit your office.
