This Suriname case study presents the main conclusions of the application of Improving the Productivity of National Offices for Statistics (IPNOS), a tool developed by the World Bank to assess the functioning of national statistical offices (NSOs). This approach was implemented at the General Bureau of Statistics (Algemeen Bureau voor de Statistiek, ABS), the NSO of Suriname, in May-July 2023. The exercise has allowed the comprehensive identification of the main strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges related to statistical production and dissemination in the country, as well the ABS coordination role with producers of national statistical systems (NSSs). The assessment has provided ABS with an action plan for the improvement of this crucial task in the future and has offered key recommendations for the implementation of the plan.
