At this era of information, the role of statistical information for the country’s development planning is very crucial. In all developing countries, including Ethiopia , the collecting, processing and analyzing of various data for the development and monitoring of the country’s Poverty Reduction Strategy, has become the responsibility of the statistical offices. In addition most of the required indictors for the Millennium Development Goals have to be obtained from data collected compiled and analyzed from the statistical offices. Therefore, the main concern for the Central Statistical Agency will be providing reliable and timely information that is going to be useful for the country’s development agenda.
