Based on this premise, what should be the strategy, from the perspective of statisticians and users, to ensure the availability of new and appropriate data on a timely basis to meet future needs of users? 4. How can data compilers and users play a greater role inidentifying new data needs of a high income and high value added economy? 5. How can statisticians play a more proactive role in advising or communicating with users on the availability of appropriate data for analysis and surveillance to avoid the redundancy of data collection? These questions are by no means exhaustive but I hope our distinguished speakers and discussants today will address some of them. The speakers and discussants today represent a wide spectrum of group of compilers and users of statistics, who have vast experience in conducting significant research in many areas that uses national and international statistics. Through their presentations and discussions, we hope to learn from their knowledge and thinking on relevant issues in the field of statistics. We are also honoured to have two international speakers from the IFC who will talk about the international best practices in data management and country experiences in data sharing and communication of statistics. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank them in advance. I would also like to record our appreciation to the representatives from various national organisations for chairing the sessions and sharing their views on the topic that we had identified.
