Theme
• Jointly sponsored and organized by ECA, AfDB,
and UNSD, the Seminar brings together senior
managers of National Accounts and Economic
Statistics from all African countries:
• To deliberate both the global strategy and the
regional strategy on the implementation of the

Objectives
• To initiate the formulation of an implementation programme for
the 2008 SNA and supporting economic statistics with the
objective of developing comparable economic statistics for
member states in the UNECA region in order to monitor the
integration of their economies.
• It is expected that this initiative would lead to a multi-year
programme to move the countries over to the 2008 SNA and to
establish a minimum common data set of annual and high
frequency statistics.
• This regional programme will be part of the global
implementation programme for the 2008 SNA and supporting
statistics.
