THE Namibia Statistics Agency (NSA) is launching a new partnership with the United Kingdom\u2019s Office for National Statistics (ONS) that aims to strengthen statistical capabilities.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last week, Statistician-General, Alex Shimuafeni, together with Charlotte Fenton, the Deputy British High Commissioner signed the memorandum of understanding on behalf of the ONS at NSA\u2019s head office in Windhoek.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new partnership sees the NSA and ONS work closely together to share skills and provide practical support and advice. The Memorandum of Understanding will support Namibia in becoming a leader in statistical modernisation, helping other statistical organisations in return. The two organisations will work together to build Namibia\u2019s capability in data collection and analysis and prepare for the next census that will for the first time use digital technology instead of paper questionnaires,\u201d NSA Spokesperson Nelson Ashipala said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a really proud moment for NSA. I am excited to officially launch this partnership with the UK\u2019s ONS and look forward to working together with them over the coming years,\u201d Shimuafeni added.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI am delighted that the ONS will join forces with NSA to support statistical modernisation in Namibia and help the nation\u2019s decision makers better harness the power of data to improve lives,\u201d the UK\u2019s National Statistician, Ian Diamond said at the signing ceremony.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The official launch of the peer-to-peer partnership follows several projects completed between the two organisations, including the development of analysis tools to better understand the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ONS is a world leader in producing independent official statistics and has similar partnerships across the continent, including with the UN\u2019s Economic Commission for Africa, Ghana Statistical Service, Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, and the National Institute of Statistics Rwanda. The signing event comes after Deputy Statistician-General, Ottilie Mwazi, and Data Analyst and Data Processing Manager, Tuli Amuntenya travelled to the UK to visit the ONS in 2019,\u201d Ashipala stated.<\/p>\n
