Report on a mission to Harare and Kadoma, Zimbabwe (Part II)

Abstract

During the opening session of the workshop on 10 November, as a result of consultations with Dr. G. Mandishona, Director of the Central Statistics Office (CSO) and Mr. D. Mzite, Deputy Director, I was invited to pay a visit to the CSO to discuss statistical organization issues, with particular reference to the National household survey capability program. The visit took place on 21 November 1986. I had also the opportunity to discuss Zimbabwean participants at the workshop. In addition, I went on a field trip to the Gweru provincial statistical office (province of Midland) on 19 November 1986, as part of the program of the workshop. The above discussions on statistical organization and household surveys are summarized in the present report which constitutes part II of the mission report. The list of persons with whom discussions were held attached as Annex I.
