STATNET Member Publishes a Lessons Note with the Foundation

Professor Ben Kiregyera, Member, ACBF STATNET, has published a Lessons Note under the Foundation’s Knowledge Management and Program Support Department. Lessons Notes report on replicable best practices or avoidable mistakes in capacity building and development management for Africa. After years of governmental neglect, national statistical systems across Africa have been grappling with a resurgent demand for quality statistics to facilitate evidence-based policymaking, and the monitoring and evaluation of development interventions. The paper shares with the readership Uganda’s experience in reforming its formerly dysfunctional national statistical system to be able to supply the data required for evidence-based policymaking as well as the monitoring and evaluation of development interventions.
