The Statistical, Economic and Social Research and Training Centre for Islamic Countries (SESRIC) and National Institute of Statistics, Economic and Demographic Studies (INSEED) of the Republic of Chad signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) 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 Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Member States”.

The MoA was signed on 16 June 2016 by H.E. Amb. Musa KULAKLIKAYA, Director General of SESRIC, and Mr. Ousman Abdoulaye HAGGAR, Director General of INSEED of the Republic of Chad.
