Statistical Development focuses on the implementation of the Reference Regional Strategic Framework - RRSF, which encompasses all the critical objectives and strategies to develop the continent’s statistical systems.
This a platform of exchange of information and know-how on the implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and reporting on the RRSF as recommended by the Forum on African Statistical Development (FASDEV). As the RRSF addresses all areas of statistical development, the Community Of Practice is expected to be a one-stop shop of knowledge creation and dissemination on African Statistical Development.
Reference Regional Strategic Framework - RRSF
Following a review in 2000 of the Addis Ababa Plan of Action for Statistical Development in Africa in the 1990s (AAPA), the Committee on Development Information (CODI), the former United Nations Economic Commission for Africa‘s (UNECA) subsidiary body in charge of statistics, at its second session acknowledged that its principles and objectives were and still remain relevant to statistical development in Africa. It nevertheless, observed the slow level of implementation and resolved that a new plan, as proposed in the evaluation report, will not be necessary. Instead, the CODI recommended the preparation of a new framework for statistical development in Africa taking into account full stakeholder participation at all levels, new demands for information, strategies at national, sub-regional and regional levels for enhancing statistical capacity, the plight of countries emerging from war and other crises, and mechanisms of continuous monitoring and evaluation. This was the advent of the Reference Regional Strategic Framework.
