Accompanying the RC were technical staff from WFP, UNEP, UNICEF, UNFPA, Global Pulse Asia Pacific, and UNHCR. The Deputy was joined by the Director of Population and Manpower Statistics, Mr. Ali Said, and his team.

In her remarks, the RC expressed her desire to strengthen collaboration between the UN and BPS, building on previous engagements by individual UN agencies. The Deputy of Social Statistics delivered a presentation addressing the existing and ongoing collaboration between BPS and the UN, which includes strengthening the National Statistical System, improving Data Accessibility and Utilization, Harmonizing Data with International Standards, Developing Regional and International Cooperation, and Monitoring and Measuring Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The UN is expected to assist BPS in preparing for the 2030 population census by optimizing the use of registration data. With the UN's support, BPS is committed to continuing its modernization efforts, including initiatives such as digital demography, the Indonesia vital statistics system, international migration data, dynamic weighting for population surveys, and building a comprehensive data system from the village level up.
