Arab Institute for Training & Research in Statistics (AITRS)

  Originally, in 1971, an Institute was established in Baghdad-Iraq as the Regional Institute for Training and Research in Statistics for the Near East which consisted of all Arab countries and some Regional countries (Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan and Cyprus) under the authority of UN & UNDP at that time and it was called the 1st phase of the institute (1971-1974) (Document Ref. REM/71/174/D/01/2).
         In Apr. 1973, the Board of Directors was satisfied of the results of the activities at the end of the 1st phase, and a committee from UN with association of FAO & UNDP evaluated the 1st phase and amended the project document REM/73/003/01/01 and in April 1977, the Board of Director decided to change the title of the Institute from "Regional Institute for Training and Research for the Near East" to the "Arab Institute for Training and Research in Statistics". Now all Arab Statistical Organizations and Burues are members of the Institute representing the Arab countries in the institute.
