International Development

The International Development Section aims to promote issues arising in international development that relates to statistics and statisticians.

The section activities are an interest to those concerned with the quantitative aspects of development, including development practitioners who do not see themselves primarily as statisticians. The section is also particularly keen to reach out to statisticians working in developing countries. Please join our mailing list to be kept up to date with our activities.
