CELEBRATING ECA @ 60ECA KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT DIGESTVOLUME 1, OCTOBER 2018A Review on Statistical Development in Africa:Resolutions Adopted by the Conferences of Ministers(1958- 2018)
PrefaceThe ECA Knowledge Management Digest is a serial publication that highlights newdevelopments in the area of Knowledge Management and Library services of the Commission.The function is anchored in the Knowledge and Library Services Section (KLSS) within thePublic Information and Knowledge Management Division.Over the past 10 years, the ECA Library also designated as a UN depository Library has beenre-envisioned as a modern Knowledge Hub in the 21st century. Furthermore, it has beensystematically repurposed and retooled through the provision of specialized services and anongoing upgrade of the physical space into an environment where users connect, network,learn and share knowledge. The ECA Knowledge Hub has access to open platforms thatenable discovery, creation and sharing of knowledge, which is supported by modern ICTinfrastructure and trained staff that respond to the changing needs and new informationseeking behaviors of users in the digital age. Collectively, this has maximized the impact ofknowledge services as a catalyst to ECA’s new vision of becoming “the premier think tank inAfrica” which supports the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and theAfrican Development Agenda 2063.Noteworthy of the new Knowledge services, is the ECA Knowledge Repository @http://repository.uneca.org, which is an Institutional framework for the management,preservation and dissemination of ECA knowledge products in an electronic environment.The Repository represent the corporate memory, providing historical evidence of theCommission’s programmes and decisions. These knowledge resources include flagshippublications, journals, conference proceedings, technical reports, mission reports, annualreports, policy briefs, resolutions, working papers, speeches and other grey literaturepublished by ECA since its establishment in 1958. These represent the corporate memory,providing evidence of ECA’s notable contribution to the economic and social developmentagenda of Africa based on its work through policy dialogues, consensus building and capacitydevelopment.This first Knowledge Management Digest (Volume 1), draws from the ECA KnowledgeRepository and is published as a resource for the Sixth Statistical Commission for Africa(StatCom-Africa-VI) held from 1st – 4th October 2018 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and incelebration of the Commission @ 60. It provides a chronological compilation of theConference of Ministers resolutions on statistical development in Africa from 1958 to 2018.This digest provides a critical resource for analyzing the implementation of these decisionsand stimulate discussion on their impact on socioeconomic policy development in Africa overthe past six decades.Page i
