The Government Statistician, Professor Samuel Kobina Annim, has called for the integration of modernised data systems into national decision-making processes.
He said the GSS was spearheading a data revolution to modernise decision-making processes, utilising innovative tools such as anonymised mobile phone data to tackle disaster response, poverty mapping, and election preparedness.
In his presentation at the African Statistics Day (ASD) celebration in Accra yesterday, he highlighted the transformative potential of integrating advanced data sources into national development strategies.
The ASD is an event which is commemorated annually on November 18 to deepen public awareness of the significant role statistics play in all aspects of social and economic life in Africa in particular, and in the entire world in general.
