ECOWAS begins statistical management training in Monrovia

ECOWAS has launched a five-day leadership and statistical management training program in Monrovia, Liberia. The initiative is designed for managers of National Statistical Systems from various member states, including Ghana, Nigeria, Guinea, Togo, and Sierra Leone.

The training focuses on digital transformation, governance, coordination of national statistical systems, ethical leadership, and statistical integrity. Richard Ngafuan, Director General of the Liberia Institute for Geo-Information Services, noted that continuous training from ECOWAS and international partners has improved statistical data collection for policy formulation.
