Which organization established World Statistics Day?

World Statistics Day was established by the United Nations Statistical Commission (UNSC), under the United Nations (UN) system. The UNSC, which was founded in 1947, serves as the highest decision-making body for international statistical activities. Its purpose is to promote global standards in data collection, analysis, and dissemination. In 2010, the UN General Assembly officially designated October 20 as World Statistics Day, acknowledging the significance of data in driving transparency, accountability, and good governance. The initiative encourages collaboration among member states, national statistical offices, and international organizations to build a world where data is used responsibly for sustainable development, policy formulation, and human progress.
