MEDSTAT III – the Euro Mediterranean Statistical Cooperation Programme (2010-2012)  aims at backing the Mediterranean Partner Countries so that they collect reliable and coherent statistical data, in priority sectors: Agriculture Statistics, Energy Statistics , Information Technology, Migration Statistics, Social Statistics, Trade of goods and services Statistics, Training and Transport Statistics.

It aims towards strengthening the capacity of the national statistics institutes and national statistical system in the Mediterranean Partner Countries, to collect updated, timely, relevant and high-quality data, necessary for political decision-making and ensuring good governance.

MEDSTAT III experts work closely with their counterparts in the Partner Countries in developing activities, transferring know-how and practices through targeted technical assistance, the exchange of experiences and practices, workshops and seminars on key technical issues, training courses and study visits. Other activities include disseminating statistics via publications and a dedicated website, and coordinating with national work programme activities in the relevant statistical sectors. The programme also provided necessary hardware and software.
