Representatives from the Ethiopian Central Statistics Agency (CSA) and the Immigration, Nationality and Vital Event Agency (INVEA) visited Norway in February 2020 to learn about the register-based system for production of population statistics in Norway.

The use of administrative data for statistics relies on close inter-agency cooperation. In addition to Statistics Norway, the delegation met with the Norwegian Tax Administration, the Norwegian Mapping Authority and Norwegian Directorate of Immigration. The visit is part of the new cooperation between Norway and Ethiopia, where the use of the civil registry for vital statistics (CRVS) is one of the components. Before the Covid-19 pandemic stopped all traveling activities, three missions to Ethiopia also took place. Due to Covid-19, the launch of the new three-year project is delayed, but remote activities have restarted in autumn 2020.
