WB: World Bank
Since 2006, a draft document, “Trust Fund” has been drafted by all three schools (ENSEA, ISSEA and ENSAE-Senegal) with the support of the Sub-Saharan Africa Economic and Statistical Observatory (AFRISTAT) to solicit financial support from the World Bank.
This draft document, after several amendments was finally approved and the World Bank decided to provide financial support to the three schools through its Capacity Building Support Project for Schools of Statistics (PARCES-BM) called “TFSCB TF092112”. Thus, to concretize this agreement, the World Bank signed an agreement with AFRISTAT, in charge of managing the funds on behalf of the Schools.
In general, the project aims at building the capacities of African schools of statistics and national statistical systems.
In addition, this will specifically involve:
- Developing training modules that will build the capacity of National Institute of Statistics managers to meet the challenges of the Sustainable Development Goal;
- Strengthening National Statistical System staff through high-level training,
- Organizing training for trainers (teachers) in schools of statistics;
- Acquiring computer and accessories, educational and didactic equipment adapted to deliver good quality teaching;
- Strengthening documentary collections.
