African center for statistics calls for better coordination of Data collection in Africa
The planning process of long-term development in any country would be on a shaky foundation if there is no effective coordination system among government institutions that produce and store economic data. Mr. Bwalya Ng'andu, the Deputy Governor in charge of Operations in the Bank of Zambia, noted that researchers of any country would have difficulty to find data from Ministry of Health, Ministry of planning, Ministry of Finance, Central Bank or from any other agency if the coordination among those institutions is not good . At Addis Ababa meeting, Mr Oliver Chinganya, Director of African Centre for Statistics at UN Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) called for African countries to strengthen their National statistical systems, improve coordination between the statistical lead agency, related line ministries, and other data producers. The African Centre for Statistics provides technical assistance to countries in establishing efficient statistical infrastructure for the collection, processing, compilation, analysis, dissemination, and archiving of economic statistics and national accounts.
