Ninth Session of the Committee of Directors General of National Statistics Offices
Plenary session 8: Statutory issues
Discussions on the forthcoming forty-seventh session of the United Nations Statistical Commission – countries
participation and contribution of the region on proposed agenda items
The 47th Session is scheduled from 8 to 11 March 2016 in New York. The provisional annotated agenda for the 2016 session will be very
soon available on the website of UNSD.
As done on previous sessions of the statistical commission it is important for African countries to speak with one voice and therefore to
harmonize their contributions to the deliberations on items for discussion and decision. It is therefore proposed that countries be assigned
items on the agenda and take the lead in preparing Africa’s common positions on them and make the intervention during the discussion.
Countries are requested to indicate their willingness to lead the preparation and presentation of the assigned topics on behalf of the
continent. Comments are also welcome from everybody on the issues to be considered in coming up with the common positions on the
agenda items; please send such inputs to either ECA or directly to the assigned countries.
