Data description
|
The specific weight of transboundary water basins covered by working agreements on cooperation in the water sector is the area of the part of the transboundary basins within the country with a working agreement on cooperation in the water sector. To calculate this indicator, it is necessary to collect the areas of the transboundary surface water basins and transboundary aquifers (transboundary basins) within the country covered by the working agreement, and divide the obtained area by the total area of all transboundary basins (both water catchment basins and aquifers) in the country. To express as a percentage, the result obtained is multiplied by 100.

Statistical concepts and definitions
|
Transboundary basins are the basins of transboundary waters, that is, any surface waters (mainly rivers, lakes) or underground waters that pass through or are located on the borders between two or more states. For the purposes of calculating this indicator, the surface water basin is the catchment area, and the groundwater basin is considered the aquifer area. The proposed monitoring includes the geographic scope of the transboundary basins shared by each country and focuses on monitoring whether these basins are covered by workable cooperative agreements. The criteria to be met for cooperation to be considered "working" in a specific basin are aimed at reflecting whether the existing agreements actually create an adequate framework for water management cooperation.

Quality assurance
|
The
State Statistical Committee implements the quality management system in
accordance with the international standard ISO 9001. In 2013 the external audit
of the quality management system was conducted in the State Statistical Committee,
and in August of the same year for the first time ISO 9001:2008 international
certificate of conformity was obtained in the direction of "Production and
dissemination of official statistical data". After a major change of the
international standard in 2015, all documents of the quality management system
were redesigned in accordance with the requirements of the international
standard ISO 9001:2015. According to the results of certification audit
conducted on March 09-10, 2017, the apparatus of The State Statistical
Committee and 13 local statistical offices where QMS is applied, and then the
apparatus of the State Statistics Committee according to the results of
recertification audit conducted on March 02-06, 2020 and another 17 local
statistical offices where QMS is applied, then according to the results of
recertification audit conducted on February 13-17, 2023, the apparatus of the
State Statistics Committee and 45 local statistical offices where QMS
"Production and dissemination of official statistical data" is
applied, have received the international certificate of conformity 9001:2015 in
the direction of "Production and dissemination of official
statistics". http://stat.gov.az/menu/2/quality/en/sertifikat_ISO_9001_2015.pdf

Quality assessment
|
On the basis of the “Audit
Program” approved annually, internal audits are carried out in the departments
of the Office and in the local statistical bodies where the GIS is applied.
Audit teams are formed to conduct audits and an individual audit plan is
approved for each structural unit. The audit team conducts inspections in
accordance with the audit plan. Internal monitoring of quality aspects in the
State Statistics Committee is carried out in a centralized manner by the authorized
structural unit (Quality Management and Metadata Department) and an annual
“Analysis by Management” document is prepared and submitted to the management
based on the results of audits. The members of the audit team (auditors) are
instructed before each audit by the auditor general, as well as through
seminars organized at least once a year. The activity of the State Statistics
Committee is “Quality management systems. Requirements ”ISO 9001: 2015 is one
of the strongest strengths. Increased workload due to incomplete transition to
electronic documentation and parallel paperwork, late adaptation of staff
(employees) to the requirements of the new standards are the weakest
weaknesses.
