Summary

A technical assistance (TA) mission was delivered virtually to Statistics South Africa between February 13–17, 2025. The objective of the mission was to provide assistance to Statistics South Africa in the validation and release of the energy accounts for 2015–21 that had been compiled by StatsSA with STA’s technical assistance (TA). The mission reviewed the compiled energy accounts and provided recommendations on improving these accounts further. It also discussed with the authorities the main priorities for developing air emissions accounts. An action plan for the compilation of the air emissions accounts and improvements in energy accounts was developed and agreed with the authorities. These initiatives are crucial for South Africa's climate policy formulation and international reporting obligations.
