On the 14th of September 2023, the African Centre for Statistics (ACS) of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) successfully conducted a StatsTalk-Africa Webinar series, which focused on Machine Learning for Economic Research. The sixth of the monthly webinar series had 148 attendees, with participants noting the timeliness and comprehensiveness of the presentation and expressing the need to tackle similar topics that expound on the uses and application of Machine Learning for economics and other socio-demographic indicators related to Sustainable Development Goals in future webinars. The recording of the webinar can be accessed at https://youtu.be/nK-j5QB955c.

In its continuing commitment to provide a space for dialogues about data, statistics, and innovative tools with data experts and users, the ACS wishes to invite everyone to the next StatsTalk-Africa. Concept notes and relevant materials for the upcoming webinar will be shared in due course.
