Institutional Setup for Statistics in Bangladesh
National Statistical System (NSS)
– basically centralized
– majority of the statistical activities including agriculture statistics being carried out by the BBS.
– decentralized statistical activities in fisheries, livestock, forestry, agriculture commodity prices and irrigation sub-sectors organized by the concerned line departments.
Statistics Act 2013
“Official Statistics” defined – statistics either produced or
endorsed by the BBS
– the use of “Official Statistics” is made mandatory for all the government uses
Entrusted the BBS – responsibility for collection,
compilation, analysis
– responsibility to support, coordinate and endorse
– support and build capacity in line ministries
