Republic Act No. 10625 (RA 10625) or the “Philippine Statistical Act of 2013,” provides for the establishment of interagency statistical committees (IACs) by the PSA Board for the purpose of coordinating and resolving agency and sectoral concerns on statistical matters. The IACs serve as forums for discussion of the issues raised by concerned producers, users and other stakeholders of statistics.
By virtue of RA 10625, the PSA Board is also granted the authority to create IACs other than those provided in the RA, or abolish them as appropriate. The PSA Board defines the composition and terms of reference of the IACs which will allow flexibility and the ability to respond to future emerging statistical concerns on various sectors.
In addition to the IACs, technical committees (TCs) and task forces (TFs) have been created by the PSA Board. The TC has the same functions as the IACs but membership to the committee is based on one’s personal expertise in a particular sector/field. On the other hand, a TF is created to lead the conduct of a particular task/study and shall be terminated once the output has been submitted to the PSA Board.
