Regional Training Workshop on NADA 4.0 held in Tunis for Francophone and Lusophone African Countries (June 2013)

A Regional Training workshop was held in Tunis, Tunisia on June 13 – 15, 2013 in the context of the launching of the NADA 4.0 by the International Household Survey Network (IHSN). This workshop was jointly organized by PARIS21 with the World Bank and the African Development Bank. The workshop aimed to expose participants to the latest version of the NADA application which was recently released, to upgrade their existing NADAs and implement relevant quality enhancements to their systems and to discuss strategic and technical issues relating to microdata dissemination in general. The regional workshop gathered eighteen participants from fourteen Francophone and Lusophone African countries: Angola, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Mali, Mozambique, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal and Tunisia. All participants successfully installed the NADA 4.0 application and customized it to their specific websites, discovered the new features of the new version and gained more knowledge on citations and security issues. A few National Statistical Offices have already upgraded their NADA right after the workshop. The ADP will continue to follow-up and provide support to the above countries as they upgrade their NADAs in the coming months!
