At ORBICAP, we view statistical capacity building as a long-term responsibility rather than a short-term intervention. Sustainable improvement in statistical systems requires clear governance, strategic direction, and a sustained commitment to quality, transparency, and professional integrity.

While progress and responsiveness matter, complex institutional challenges in official statistics are best addressed through well-founded, system-level approaches aligned with internationally recognised principles and frameworks. This perspective is reflected in instruments such as the National Strategy for the Development of Statistics (NSDS), developed through international collaboration involving the World Bank, IMF, the United Nations, the European Commission, and PARIS21.

Our approach

ORBICAP provides senior advisory support to strengthen the governance, organisation, and improvement of statistical systems over time. Engagements are tailored to institutional contexts and balance immediate priorities with a clear focus on long-term sustainability.

Rather than offering generic solutions, our work emphasises clarity of roles and responsibilities, coherent workflows, robust quality assurance, and learning-oriented improvement processes aligned with international standards.

What we focus on

  • Leadership and governance

    Supporting organisations in clarifying mandates, leadership responsibilities, and strategic direction for statistical systems.

  • Workflow coherence and optimisation

    Advising on the organisation and alignment of statistical processes across the production lifecycle.

  • Quality assurance and trust

    Strengthening quality frameworks, documentation, and oversight mechanisms that underpin credibility and public trust in statistics.

  • International alignment

    Ensuring consistency with internationally recognised principles, standards, and best practices.

  • Selective expert network

    Drawing on a curated network of senior practitioners and peer-level expertise where complementary perspectives are required.

Our mission

ORBICAP’s mission is to strengthen the capacity of organisations to lead, govern, and safeguard the quality of statistical systems. Through senior advisory support in leadership development, workflow optimisation, and quality assurance, we help institutions:

  • manage statistical activities responsibly and coherently;

  • strengthen transparency, accountability, and trust; and

  • adapt sustainably to evolving demands for high-quality statistics.
