IV. Reorganization of the NIS
The current organization of the NIS has shown its limitations in
governance of the process of statistical production and coordination with
other statistical information producers. This limitation is most notable at the
regional level where the NIS only assumes the role of data collection from
surveys and some administrative sources. To solve these problems and their
disruptiveness to the smooth running of the production activities, a new
organization of the NIS at the central and regional level has been implemented
to guarantee a quality and continuous statistical production and to meet the
requirements of the development statistics agendas. This new organization is
in line with the Generic Statistical Business Process Model (GSBPM) and has
made it possible to organize the regional directorates into three areas:
collection, production and dissemination. At the central level, new functions,
such as methodology, quality and training have been created. Other activities
have also been carried out including:
 Launch of ISO 9001 certification process for the salary-employment
survey and organization of a hard-core training within the NIS on the
implementation of an ISO project';
 A new integrated information system architecture has been proposed,
taking into account the NIS environment in accordance with the
GSBPM. The roadmap for the implementation of this new integrated
information system has been established for a pilot area (external trade
statistics).
This first reorganization of the technical services of the NIS will certainly
have an added value on the progress of the statistical work, but is still
insufficient in relation to the enormous challenges that the establishment will
have to meet the important needs for the SDGs and the African Union Agenda
2063. The NIS is expected to continue these efforts of openness on its
environment and to better manage its relation with the users.
