The Statistical, Economic and Social Research and Training Centre for Islamic Countries (SESRIC) and BPS-Statistics Indonesia agreed on a partnership to facilitate collaboration and cooperation between both institutions within the framework of the project titled “Integration of the ‘Tobacco Questions for Surveys (TQS)’ into the National Surveys in OIC Member States”.

During the implementation period, BPS-Statistics Indonesia will incorporate the TQS into the National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS) in 2015, to harmonise and standardise the monitoring of key tobacco control indicators for evidence-based policy making and promote sustainability through frequent collection of the tobacco use data.
