What Institut wallon de l'évaluation, de la prospective et de la statistique - IWEPS does

IWEPS (Institut wallon de l'évaluation, de la prospective et de la statistique) is a public scientific institute headquartered in Belgrade (Namur), Belgium, established in 2004 and designated by the Walloon Government as the official Statistical Authority of the Walloon Region effective January 1, 2016. It is part of Belgium's Interfederal Institute of Statistics (IIS) and the Institute of National Accounts (ICN). The institute's primary function is to produce official statistics, evaluation studies, and prospective analyses to support evidence-based decision-making for the Walloon Government, Parliament, and public administrations.

Its core product portfolio centers on statistical data collection, analysis, and dissemination. Key platforms include WalStat, a local statistical portal providing commune-level data across 261 Walloon municipalities; the ICPIB (Indicateurs complémentaires au PIB), which offers composite indicators beyond GDP; and the ISADF (Indicateur synthétique d'accès aux droits fondamentaux), a synthetic indicator measuring access to fundamental rights. The institute also publishes research reports, statistical briefs, working papers, and conference proceedings across 14 thematic areas (citizenship, economy, education, energy, environment, gender, labor market, mobility, population, health, territory), and runs outreach channels including a monthly podcast and FUTURAMA prospective foresight webinars. Data is sourced through partnerships with federal and regional bodies (ONSS, FOREM, Statbel, BNB, IBSA, SVR, Federal Planning Bureau) and international organizations (Eurostat, OECD).

IWEPS operates as a publicly funded institution with no commercial revenue model; its services are provided free of charge to public authorities and the general public, funded entirely through Walloon Government appropriations. Its 57 employees deliver outputs through digital channels (website downloads, interactive portals, newsletters, social media). Customer segments are exclusively public-sector: Walloon Government, Parliament, public administration, inter-regional statistical institutes, academia, and the general public. This is not a commercial enterprise and traditional investment metrics such as ARR growth or market share expansion are not applicable to its operating model.
