Abstract:

Although the demand for skilled statisticians is growing in developing countries, measures taken to address the shortage have not been satisfactory. The recently launched ASA Educational Ambassadorship program is a positive step in raising awareness about the gap, and in providing much needed support to enhance statistical education in these countries. In this talk, we highlight some of the problems, and share the experience gained as an ambassador.
