The Project for the Regional Advancement of Statistics in the Caribbean (PRASC)
The Government of Canada funded a statistical capacity-building initiative for the Caribbean region, the Project for the Regional Advancement of Statistics in the Caribbean (PRASC), that ran from March 2015 to September 2023.
This initiative aimed to strengthen the statistical system of the Caribbean in order to improve socio-economic measures and support evidence-based policy making.
Through PRASC, Statistics Canada worked with National Statistical Offices of 14 Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries and other organizations active in the region by providing training and bilateral assistance to develop robust statistical methods and approaches for use in the region. Resource materials made available through PRASC are shared here.

The CONTENT INVENTORY serves as a registry of all the products published or to be published on the website. It can be used as a planning tool to see what is being prepared, what is ready for release or what is published. If the Content Inventory is strictly used as a registry of products published, the number of columns could be paired down to only keep the ones of value for this purpose. It is important that the Content Inventory be always kept up to date. For that reason, the NSO should not hesitate to customize the Content Inventory to fit the NSO needs and be easy to maintain.
