Everyone counts and everyone should be counted. UNFPA
continues to support one of its key national partners
- National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) - and its subnational
branches to strengthen the capacity to generate
and utilise disaggregated and reliable data to support
national development planning. Improved availability
of such data supports better monitoring and reporting on
national attainments to the internationally agreed goals
and frameworks, such as the International Conference
on Population and Development (ICPD), Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) and the Convention on
the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against
Women (CEDAW).
