Gambian Delegation Visits Ghana to Explore Mobile Data for Official Stats
Gambian agencies visit Ghana’s NCA to study mobile and big data usage in official statistics, guided by Ghana Statistical Service.
As part of a broader study tour to explore the use of Mobile Phone Data, Big Data, and Data Science for official statistics in Ghana, a delegation from the Gambia Bureau of Statistics (GBoS) and the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) has paid a working visit to the National Communications Authority (NCA) in Accra.
The delegation was accompanied by officials from the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS), who provided introductory remarks to outline the purpose of the visit. Dr. Peter Takyi Peprah, Director for Methods, and Standards at GSS, highlighted the importance of cross-sector collaboration in unlocking the potential of non-traditional data sources. He noted that the collaboration between GSS and NCA has been instrumental in advancing data innovation in Ghana and expressed confidence that the study visit would foster similar partnerships in The Gambia.
