F/- RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE OR&ANIZATION
T9e nee6 to c1eate g1eate1 statistical awa1eness
Statistical a%areness in the $im#a#%ean societ is generall er lo%! There is er little
appreciation of statistics as most people ie% it as the mere production of figures %ithout
kno%ledge of ho% to interpret them or their significance) in some cases one might
encounter a compan6s Managing Director refusing to suppl the necessar data! The
*entral Statistical +ffice
thus needs to
&docate for and market statistics # carring out campaigns amongst all ke
stake-holders and the general pu#lic
5ffectiel use resources # promoting the use of statistics in societ
Build and deelop greater statistical capacit # channeling funds and sourcing
