Khomas governor Sam Nujoma has urged the Namibia Statistics Agency (NSA) to prioritise the routine production of region-aligned economic data.
He was speaking at a high-level sensitisation meeting for the National Strategy for the Development of Statistics (NSDS) for the Khomas region, which was organised by the NSA and GIZ in Windhoek on Monday.
“Figures showing what our region produces, in which sectors and what rate it grows would transform how we budget, how we direct investment, and how we make the case for Khomas to investors and development partners,” he said.
According to statistician general Alex Shimuafeni, the NSDS is an internationally recognised framework for transforming the national statistics system (NSS) and ensuring “the right data is given to the right people in the right format and at the right time” to support national and international development.
