The ADP held a workshop in Paris, France from May 22-23 at the OECD conference center. The workshop was promoted under the Stat-3 series of workshops that will focus on: microdata dissemination policy development; microdata quality; responding to user demand for microdata. These workshops are designed to be short and focused discussions targeting decision makers at the country level. The countries represent a regional group that are in different stages in the process of developing systematic approaches to developing microdata dissemination policies; improving microdata quality and having well managed approaches to responding to user demands.

At the request of the Agence Nationale de la Statistique et de la Démographie (ANSD), the ADP carried out a Survey Metadata Production Workshop from April 14 – 18 2014. A total of twenty-two staff members from various departments of ANSD Senegal attended the workshop to document twenty surveys. The training was facilitated by Mr. Martin Mba from INS Cameroon and Mrs. Julienne Aitchedji from INS Niger. At the end of the workshop, ANSD successfully documented the surveys. These were subsequently reviewed and finalized by the facilitators and ANSD and posted on their on-line catalog (NADA).
