The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) identified statistics and statistical capacity building together with knowledge management, as special programme priorities. This culminated in the inception of the African Centre for Statistics (ACS) in 2006. The creation of the Centre was meant to meet, among others, two critical challenges: to re-establish ECA’s credibility in the coordination of statistical development in Africa and to manage expectations of stakeholders namely countries, sub regional organizations, regional economic communities and development partners. Recent developments in fostering the statistical function at ECA are a testimony to the fact that the ACS is now well positioned to meet the challenges facing African stakeholders in statistical capacity building in support of their development efforts. One of the clear manifestations of this positioning, which is critical to the success of the Centre’s work programme, is the scaling up of its human resources. Following an intensive advocacy campaign aimed at fully staffing the ACS to enable it meet the expectations of African stakeholders, the latter is now fully equipped as the posts and required efforts to fill them have been completed. This edition of the Newsletter contains a full article on the staffing situation of the ACS.
