Namibia: ‘Use Statistics to Allocate Resources Fairly’

THE governor of the //Kharas region, Aletha Frederick, has called for national statistics and data to be used to equitably allocate and distribute resources to reduce inequality in the country.

Fredericks said this at Keetman-shoop on Thursday.

The Statistics Standards was launched on the same day.

The World Bank has indicated that Namibia ranks as one of the world’s most unequal countries with a Gini coefficient of 59,1 due to disparities in both economic opportunities and access to services.
