Please note that
no 16
was the final issue of the Government Computerization
Newsletter. The termination
of the Newsletter was a consequence of the recommendation
of the ESCAP Committee on Statistics on 1 December
2000 that any IT related activity under the
statistics subprogramme should be directly relevant
to statistical offices (see the public
sector computerization home page). The past
issues will be kept on this site for the time
being.
Thank you for reading the Government Computerization
Newsletter.
