National statisticians and development planners must collaborate, says ECA’s Chinganya

We often allow statisticians to sit on their own and make decisions on required data without the involvement of development planners, said Oliver Chinganya, Director of the Africa Centre for Statistics (ACS) at the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA). The meeting was organized by ECA under the auspices of the10th UN Development Account (DA10) project on “Strengthening the Capacities of African Governments for Integration of Accountability in National Development Planning.” After intense deliberations, it was highlighted, amongst other things, that national statisticians and planners are partner of the DA10 project and need to collaborate more, “beginning with the elaboration of a performance plan.”
