Under the sponsorship of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and within the framework of capacity-building programs for the organization’s staff, the Statistical Training Center at the Central Statistical Organization launched a specialized training course on Saturday, in Aden the capital, titled “Data Integration from Multiple Sources for Thematic Analysis.”

She pointed out that national statistical offices play a pivotal role in ensuring the production of high-quality, timely, and relevant official statistics. This role goes beyond data collection, but extends to analyzing and interpreting data and transforming it into accurate information that contributes to effective policymaking.
Dr.Maati added that organizing such training courses reflects the agency’s commitment to developing its staff and enhancing their capabilities, enabling them to address the complex challenges in the Yemeni context, which requires the integration of various data sources, including surveys, censuses, and administrative records.
