dc.description.abstract | The development of national statistical information systems is important particularly in the following areas: organization and management of National Statistical Services, mobilization of human and financial resources, application of state-of-the-art technology, coordination of statistical activities, improvement of the quality and quantity of data, responsiveness to requests for information including new data needs and dissemination and marketing of statistical products. The African focal point for this effort, The ECA's Development Information Services Division, is charged with the responsibility of coordinating and implementing the African Information Society Initiative (AISI), a framework for putting in place a development-centered information society adopted by the Ministers in 1996. ECA has been promoting geographic information for more than three decades in its efforts to assist member States to improve their management of natural resources as well as their stewardship of the environment. | en |
