| dc.description | The United Nations Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics (FPOs) provide National Statistical Offices (NSOs) with the basic guidelines and standards for the generation of official statistics. These form the basis for data collection, and compilation of national and sub-national indicators adhering to the agreed principles and standardized methodologies apart from ensuring fairness, transparency, and privacy protection in its dissemination. The digitized world is generating an amount of data that now competes with the NSOs statistics in terms of its almost real-time availability and speed of dissemination. Data availability from a wide variety of sources is seen as an opportunity as well as a challenge in terms of its ethical use and maintaining representativeness, public trust, privacy, and equity. The burden is now on the NSOs to be agile and ensure the quality of its products besides overseeing that the data generated across the other systems meets the test of internationally agreed principles of quality statistics. How best the NSOs can provide this service to citizens is the key question. Mr.Oliver Chinganya Director African Centre for Statistics Economic Commission for Africa remarks at StatsTalk-Africa on Data Stewardship in Africa: The Role of National Statistical Offices on 25 May 2023, this year endorse the UNECA roadmap on the transformation and modernization of official statistics in Africa and there were several commendations that we met among others Our member states were encouraged particularly in Africa. But also, from other regions to adapt and use the roadmap to help to modernize and transform their National statistical systems and bring them in line with the national development plans of course with the national strategy for the development of Statistics as well. | en |
