The seventh meeting of the Statistical Commission for Africa will be held under the theme, “Developing regional solutions to enhance the resilience of African national statistical systems to meet the need for data during the Decade of Action in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic”. The meeting is being organized amid the call of the Eval4Action campaign for all actors everywhere to accelerate delivery on the Sustainable Development Goals, by advocating for the development of stronger evaluation capacity and evidence-based policies. With only 10 years left to achieve the Goals, the Secretary-General has asked everyone to mobilize in an ambitious and urgent manner to deliver on the Goals by 2030. That appeal has been echoed in the United Nations Data Strategy for Action by Everyone, Everywhere, which was announced in April 2020.
