Statistics Botswana (SB) has announced a new strategy as it attempts to tackle the declining capacity to compile and disseminate accurate statistics timely.

Known as the National Strategy for the Development of Statistics (NSDS), the strategy aims to address data limitations, mobilise and prioritise use of resources for statistics as well as integrate statistics within the national policy.
