EAC Calls for Public Participation in Shaping Better Regional Statistics

East African Community Headquarters, Arusha, Tanzania, 3rd September, 2026: The East African Community (EAC) Secretariat is inviting users across the Partner States to participate in the ongoing User Satisfaction Survey on EAC Regional Statistics. Conducted under the Eastern Africa Regional Statistics Program for Results (EARSPforR), the survey gives users a direct opportunity to influence how regional statistics are produced, communicated, accessed and used. The survey seeks feedback on the quality, relevance, reliability, timeliness, accessibility and usefulness of EAC regional statistics. It also examines users' experiences with EAC statistical publications, services and dissemination platforms, including challenges that may limit access to or effective use of regional data.
