Timely, accurate, relevant, and disaggregated statistics are key to effective policy formulation, decision-making, and reporting on national and international frameworks such as National Development plans, Vision 2036 and the Sustainable Development Goals. This was said by Statistician General, Dr Burton Mguni at the handing over of 120 electronic tablets to Botswana Police Service (BPS) on March 16 in Gaborone. Mguni said Statistics Botswana (SB) has a responsibility of ensuring that official statistics are available in the country when needed. He said SB partners with other producers and users of statistics to improve the nation’s data ecosystem. Dr Mguni went on to say that the donation is in line with the BPS 2019–2023 Service Strategy Plan for the Development of Statistics, which aims to provide mechanisms to reform and accelerate statistics production within the organisation.
