Perspectives

• Energy ministries and national statistical
  offices should to strengthen / adopt
  inter-institutional mechanisms for collecting
  energy information
• National statistical offices should assume new
  strategies in their methods to collect energy
  statistics in censuses and surveys
• To use and expand administrative records with
  common definitions on sources, units, products,
  uses and other concepts
• To expand the scope of energy in the three
  dimensions of sustainable development economic,
  social and environment
