During 2006, UNDP supported the Central Statistics Office (CSO) by commissioning an assessment of the local area network of this government department. The report coming out of this assessment is intended to identify areas of future support of the CSO by UNDP in upgrading the existing database software to such a level that statistical data can easily be shared among the different users. It is also intended to identify priority training needs of the key officers who will be responsible for the management and maintenance of the CSO server.
Follow up activities to recommendations of this report will form part of the CO annual work plan on the Poverty and HIV/AIDS Mainstreaming programme for 2007.
Output: Strengthened Policy Analysis and Poverty Monitoring mechanisms at national level
