The Statistics and Probability African Society (SPAS)


The Statistics and Probability African Society (SPAs), has been launched, as an intiative, in May 2008 through its website (www.statpas.net). This initiative has been turned to reality by the massive support of african probabilists and statisticians, mainly in the universities, who registered as members.

By this time, November 2010, the members number is now more than one hundred and fifty, coming from all African countries and from the Diaspora.

A continental committee (CC), has been set under a general coordination . The technical committees also have been formed. This board has to prepare the African Congress of Probability and Statistics (ACPS I), to be held in Dakar in May 2010.

We held a Virtual General Assembly from May to September 2010 : Final resolutions have been proposed and discussion held. As a outcome, this document has been adopted as final resolutions of the (VAG) of the Statistics and Probability African Society(SPAS).

As well and accordingly with the propositions of many members, the frame of the Society has been better precised and defined in this document.

The journal Afrika Statistika is the official of the Society. Four volumes has already been released. Although it is already indexed by the most important databases, it has to be improved. This is the main task of the Publications committee. We will launch very soon the SPAS monograph Series, that will help African scholars to publish specialized books with international audience.

The SPAS, places its action in the frame of African Union (AU) and the Nepad.

The SAPS, has to be the main partner, in Africa, of the international or regional societies and association acting like the Institut International de Statistiques (IIS), the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS), the Bernouili Society of Probability and Statistics, the European, Australian, Asian sociteis, etc..

In one word, the SPAS works for the development of Statistics and Probability in African and for an African presence in the World scene.
