On World Statistics Day, the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) joins the global community in celebrating the essential role of data in shaping the future of nations. This year’s theme, “Quality Statistics for Everyone,” speaks directly to the Service’s core mission, to produce trusted, relevant, and high-quality official statistics that guide national development and improve lives. Quality statistics are far more than numbers. They are the foundation of progress, the mirror of national realities, and the compass for policy direction. They tell the story of our people, their living conditions, opportunities, and challenges, and ensure that decisions are based on evidence rather than assumption.
