I. Introduction
The process of socio-economic, political and cultural integration has always been a core concern of African leaders;
Since 1960 several initiatives and legal frameworks adopted at the highest level have succeeded to accelerate the integration process and to ensure its sons and daughters good quality, economic and social welfare;
For it to fully succeed and ensure that they achieve their objectives, it requires not only quality statistical information, but also harmonized data across time and space in all areas of African integration.
II. Priority statistical requirements
Policy frameworks structuring the African integration process allows us to highlight three major dimensions of integration, namely:
Political integration and regional and continental governance,
Economic integration, and
Social and cultural integration
III. What is SHaSA?
SHaSA: continental effort that directly supports the African integration agenda; Objectives;
– Identifying key priority areas of the African integration process that need to be underpinned by statistics;
– Assessing the state of the ASS and various initiatives on statistical harmonisation; and
– Elaborating a continental Strategy for the production and dissemination of quality harmonised statistics to inform African development and integration efforts
Jointly prepared by AUC, AfDB and ECA.
