These ISI programs supported by TFSCB have been instrumental in enabling participants to be apprised of, and familiarized with, the latest developments in data and statistical sciences to enhance the statistical capacity building in their home countries and institutions. Many recipients benefited from this support to boost their statistical knowledge and establishing lifetime networks with peers from all over the world. The comments submitted in the survey provide clear evidence that the TFSCB support has served its aim to develop statistical capacity.
