Colombia: DANE progressing on DDI expansion with other statistical producers (April 2013)

As a part of the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE) strategy to promote improved microdata management in the Colombia Statistical System, DDI awareness events and basic training are being supported by the ADP. About 100 public officers from forty-three statistical agencies have been trained. Eighteen agencies are currently documenting their own microdatasets. Once these datasets are quality controlled, they are uploaded to DANE´s NADA on-line survey catalog, which contains more than 100 different survey - with more than twenty public use microdata files ready for download.
