dc.description.abstractThe African statistical community Monday adopted the Robben Island Declaration on Statistical Development with the ambition of using statistics to help free the continent from poverty. The declaration came at the end of the third meeting of the Statistical Commission for Africa in Cape Town , South Africa from 18 – 23 January. The meeting was held back-to-back with the Symposium on Statistical Development in Africa . The demand for statistics is putting extra pressure on national statistical offices to come with data to help ministers make informed policy choices. Delegates thanked ECA for all the hard work it is doing in advocacy and promotion of statistics in Africa and providing technical assistance and raising funds to support member states. The commission called on all African countries to ratify the African Statistics charter and called on the African Union to conduct an Africa-wide programme to ensure that this happens as soon as possible. The meeting was also attended by a group of young statisticians as part of a programme for sustainable development of statistics in Africa .en
