Statistics at ECA : a framework for action

Abstract

The revitalization of statistical function at ECA will take into account the following principles: (i) ECA, as part of the United Nations (UN) Secretariat, should embed its work in Statistics within the United Nations statistical framework as adopted and regularly assessed and amended by the United Nations Statistical Commission; (ii) ECA needs to enlarge its partnership to other members of the international statistical community; (iii) ECA Statistics should strongly link its work to the policy analysis activities commission-wide; and (iv) ECA Statistics should leverage its work by intensively using ICTs.
