Report on Statistical Training Centres

Abstract

The Statistical Training Centers established or assisted by the UN to meet the needs for training statisticians in Africa, went into their second year of operation around the middle of October 1962. Notes on four such Centers were submitted to the Fourth Session of the Commission last year as Doc.E/CN.14/151. At both the First and Second Conferences of African Statisticians, training was recognized and emphasized as one of the principal factors determining the speed at which statistical services could be developed
