Namibia needs to raise public awareness of statistics in the agricultural sector, as they are useful for planning, monitoring, and evaluation purposes.

These were the sentiments shared by various speakers at the commemoration of African Statistics Day.

Namibia is crafting its National Land Cover Classification Standard, which once promulgated, will empower government institutions to make better decisions based on the concept of evidence.

The Namibia Statistic Agency has underlined the importance of economic statistics as a critical tool for supporting the decision-making of policymakers and implementers.
