“In a census, the people give us their data. It's our duty to give it back to them.”

It's been an absolute pleasure working with the team at @ECAStats - providing comms support and advice starting from helping the African Centre for Statistics conduct its first stakeholder survey. @ONSfocus
is adapting after key stakeholders had their say in our first stakeholder survey. Results pointed to a need for @EcaStats to focus on improving communication with stakeholders.

Mentors from our @FCDOgovUK #DataScience hub have built data science skills so that @vnso_stats could develop a Reproducible Analytical Pipeline which has revolutionised their production of trade statistics!
Today we witnessed certification of ten staff completing a programme in Reproducible Analytical Pipeline or #RAP development to help streamline data processing and reporting, in partnership and support with @ONS @KarenBell. Congratulations to all staff for their big achievement

Great session with partners discussing census outputs and how to ensure they meet user needs @ONSfocus @StatsGhana @statisticsRW @namstatsagency @fryford
Interesting times for Ghana as it experiences a population dividend with more younger people than older people. This is great news for the country's development as more people reach working age.
Ghana’s population age structure is transitioning from one dominated by children (0-14 years) to one dominated by young people (15-34 years)

Today is #AfricanStatsDay which aims to showcase the important work of statisticians across the continent & highlight the enormous value it brings to people’s lives by enabling evidence-based decision making in areas impacting the economy to sanitation, healthcare & education 1/2
