“Without good statistics, the development process is blind: policy-makers cannot learn from their mistakes and the public cannot hold them accountable.” (World Bank, 2000). Statistics are simply defined as the study of the collection, analysis, classification and interpretation of data. It is a subset of many sciences including political science and a very significant one at that. In the sense that, it deals with quantitative data i.e. the number of people who cast votes, how many females, male, age groups, social classes, ethnicity, geographical location, electoral college, etc. These data compiled can also be used to formulate policies and to enact legislation. So this paper is an attempt to find out the contribution of statistics in the policy making process. This paper attempts to show that proper and efficient use of Statistics leads to better policy and development outcomes. In this paper researcher also tries to find out how the misuse and wrong interpretation of data affects the policy making process. In this research paper secondary data will be used (relevant books, Reports, journals and online surveys will be used accordingly).
