Second Forum on African Statistical Development (FASDEV) : opening statement by Abdoulie Janneh UN under secretary general and executive secretary of the economic commission for Africa

Opening Statement By Abdoulie Janneh UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa at the Second Forum on African Statistical Development (FASDEV). Mr. Janeh, on his remarks highlighted that, given the daunting development challenges faced by African states, a close working relationship between Africa’s leading regional institutions, the African Union, the ADB, and the ECA, is key to making a difference in this and other important endeavors. at ECA, efforts to build statistical capacity in Africa were in the recent past limited by several factors. These included the lack of coordination and sustainability on the part of national and international partners alike, in developing the field. ECA is committed to taking actions, in close collaboration with regional and sub-regional organizations and other stakeholders, as well as international development partners, which will help establish reliable National Statistical Systems across the continent.
