The questionnaire is structured into five modules with 13 different themes and comprises of in total 81 questions, trying to cover the most important features of a national statistical system. Both the methodology and the questions are partly derived from ‘Snapshot’, a comprehensive assessment tool of EUROSTAT developed to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the statistical systems of EU member states. Further questions were added to strengthen both the user and the forward looking perspective and to determine future needs and challenges.
