It covers all activities and news deemed to be of interest to the African statistical community, ranging from statistical advocacy to institutional development including capacity building and technical assistance, to specific statistical activities like censuses and surveys. This fourth issue is packed with a lot of information on statistical developments in Africa. It also contains interesting articles on statistical capacity building initiatives and especially various training workshops that have been held in the recent past, statistical development activities, the 2010 round of World Population and Housing Census and news and events on statistics in Africa.
