The event titled 'Building Statistical Capacity for Population Estimates and Demography' is organized by the Nigerian Seminars and Trainings and takes place in Lagos, Nigeria. This conference focuses on enhancing the capabilities of national statistical offices to produce accurate population estimates and demographic data, which are crucial for decision-making across various sectors including government and civil society. The statistical methods and tools discussed in the event are designed to generate timely population estimates, which are essential between census data releases that occur every ten years. Participants will learn about the importance of demographic components such as mortality, fertility, and migration, which influence the accuracy of these estimates.
