|
The general objective of this component is to provide support and technical assistance to national statistics systems in respect of institutional organisation, design of statistical development and statistical training. Actions targeting Member States will also seek to supplement those of sub-regional economic integration institutions in this sphere. In a bid to develop their capacities and better respond to an increasing and diversified demand for statistical data, NSS should improve on their working conditions not only in terms of institutional organisation, but also in routine management. AFRISTAT will enhance its assistance to States in the following domains:
One of the main activities will be to regularly inform NSS of existing methodological frameworks and software for collecting and processing statistics as well as to organize, as often as possible, information workshops and refresher courses on these tools, in collaboration with partners. NSS capacity building through continued training of national staff will be a priority. AFRISTAT should participate more frequently in the activities of statistical training centres. It is thus envisaged that a partnership will be established with schools of statistics in Abidjan, Dakar and Yaounde, which currently train most senior statisticians of NSS; the partnership will cover various issues such as funding some courses and/or jointly organizing seminars and hosting trainees. Similarly, there will be closer relations between AFRISTAT and sub-regional integration institutions. The partnership between AFRISTAT, statistical training centres and sub-regional integration institutions should ultimately lead to the design and implementation of a regional policy for statistical training, notably, continued training. Lastly, in this component, activities for the period 2006-2010 are presented below by expected outcome under each specific objective.
