About RRSF website

Following the endorsement of the RRSF during the February 2006 FASDEV meeting, stakeholders recommended that the UNECA and the AfDB work out modalities for its joint coordination, implementation, monitoring, and reporting. Accordingly, representatives of the UNECA and the AfDB met in September 2006 to discuss the coordination of their statistical capacity building work in Africa.

Participants agreed that their activities must be in line with the RRSF and also emphasized “country ownership”—that is, the principle that countries must decide on their own development strategies, and that their role is to support those strategies. They also agreed on the need to lay the groundwork to facilitate concrete coordination of all statistical capacity building programs and take forward the recommendations of the RRSF.

This website is the realization of one of the recommendations of the RRSF with respect to the coordination tasks. In fact, task number 11 calls for the establishment of a web page to post the latest information about framework implementation.
