The International Programs Center of the U.S. Census Bureau releases a video explaining the Tool for Assessing Statistical Capacity (TASC). TASC provides a quantitative measure of the capacity of a National Statistical Office (NSO) to conduct Population and Housing Censuses or recurring household-based surveys. The primary objective of TASC is to measure the overall capacity of an NSO, as well as provide a breakdown of the areas of strength and weakness.
TASC results:
- aid NSOs in identifying areas where improvement is needed,
- assist NSOs and donors to justify the need for funding for training in specific areas, and
- provide a measure of the impact of capacity-building activities by being administered at two points in time, before and after.
