E/ECA/PSD.7/24 I. INTRODUCTION

1 The staffing situation of ECA Statistics Division has significantly improved during the biennium 1990-1991 compared with the preceding biennium. The Division had an average of 91

ner cent of the total of professional work-monthly originally provided for it in the work programme budget, as against 68 per cent during the biennium 1988-1989. A list of professional staff

in the Statistics Division is attached as Annex l.

2 However, only 87 per cent of the total work-months were available during the period under review due to prevailmg local situation during mid-1991. In addition, the staff of the

Division had been given a special a-"*™** * rJvui of the

processing of the ECA survey for the final review or tne

implementation of the United Nations Programme of ^ti^for African Economic Recovery and Development 1986-1990 (un P*™) which took approximately 11 per cent of ^resources In the

final analysis, only 76 per cent of thfQQt(ot1aq1<,nw°ro1i delivery ol

actually available during the biennium 1990-1991 for delivery or

planned outputs.

3 as in the past, a number of technical assistance activities

undertaken by tPhe Statistics Division -refinanced from ^"T

budgetary resources under specific statistical projects. Tnus,

a ifrge number of advisory missions were carried out ini the^areas of statistical training, basic economic statistics, demographic

statistics and household surveys.

-i Tt is proposed that the Joint Conference should review the
