Collaborative on Administrative Data - Overview of the CAD

The Collaborative on the Use of Administrative Data for Statistics (CAD) is a multi-stakeholder collaborative of countries and agencies from across the globe and region that are formally working together to improve knowledge on the use of administrative data for statistical purposes. Established in May 2020 to respond to several countries’ needs to increase the use of administrative data for statistical purposes, CAD members comprise more than 25 National Statistical Offices (NSOs) from developed and developing countries and representatives from numerous regional bodies, international agencies, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

This Overview document summarizes how the  CAD is working to address both urgent and long-term needs to access and use of administrative data for statistical purposes in a coherent and cross-cutting manner.
