The Capacity Building Workshop on Data Ethics, Governance, and Quality in a Changing Data Ecosystem for countries of the Africa Region will take place over 2.5 days in September 2025 in Nairobi, Kenya. The workshop is organized by the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) in collaboration with the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), and the Statistics Division of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA).
This workshop aims to strengthen the capacity of national statistical systems in countries of the Africa region to adapt to the rapidly changing data ecosystem. Countries of the Africa region face unique challenges in managing their national data ecosystems, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which highlighted the need for resilient, adaptive, and high-quality statistical systems that provide timely and disaggregated data.
