Elements of a Strategy Paper on Improving Social Statistics for Developing Countries

Abstract

The present document is being presented to the Conference of African Statisticians to obtain, at a relatively early stage in the process of preparation, some authoritative comments and guidance on this matter from one of the concerned regions. The views and recommendations of the Conference, together with those of the November Experts Group and those obtained by consultations with other developing regions, will be taken into account in preparing the final version of the paper to be submitted to the Statistical Commission.
