ABOUT CDP
The Center for Development Policy (CDP) is a Pan-African non-profit and non-partisan think tank that exists to contribute to the development of African countries through policy analysis and capacity building. CDP prioritizes endogenous development solutions and promotes local and empirically tested innovations that have contributed to development in Africa. CDP works with local partners to study, document and share lessons and best practices. Our uniqueness is that we do not only offer policy advice and analysis to organizations but also build their capacities through training and technical support in order to undertake evidence-based development interventions. At CDP, we offer different short-term trainings and other tailor-made trainings requested by organizations. CDP courses are offered by CDP experts and associates from within the country or abroad. It is against this background, CDP is organizing a training workshop on “ Survey Data Analysis using STATA”.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This workshop intends to address data analytical incapability faced by researchers, analysts, planners, consultants, and students when they want to use micro datasets as source of data for analysis. Micro datasets, for instance, the ones published by the National Institute of Statistics are reliable and credible sources of data for informed decision, however, most of the time users and consumers do not have capacity to use and analyze data from raw datasets. At CDP, we exist to bridge such analytical gaps. The main purpose of this course is to help participants understand the process of survey data analysis through hands-on application using Stata. The course will focus on how to organize, clean, code, and analyze survey data using the case of the recent Rwandan labor force survey data. It will cover the fundamentals of survey data analysis as used in market research, evaluation research, social science, official government statistics, and many other domains.
COURSE OUTCOMES
At the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the key concepts in survey data analysis and how they are implemented in STATA;
- Understand the structure and process of survey data analysis and methods for data management in STATA;
- Process survey data effectively and confidently in STATA;
- Use syntax to quickly perform a number of different analyses such as locating data entry errors in using appropriate statistical techniques,
- Calculate and interpret a reliability coefficient, the estimate for non-response, post-stratification, etc;
- Understand how to process variables into new dichotomous variables such as with a multiple-choice test (has many useful applications);
- Learn how to perform and interpret a number of analyses in Stata, including frequencies, descriptive, and correlation and regressions;
- Learn model estimation, model selection, and hypothesis testing and interpretation.
PREREQUISITES
This course will start from scratch and no prior related skills is a condition. Each Participant is expected to have a laptop and Stata software installed on it. If you do not have Stata software, it will be provided in the training. It will be useful if each participant has an ongoing research project that can be discussed during and after the training sessions.
TARGET GROUP
The course is organized for professionals or aspirants who want to be familiar with the survey data features. The target participants include but not limited to:
- Economists,
- Statisticians,
- Project managers,
- Analysts and Planners,
- M& E practitioners, consultants,
- Data analysts,
- PhD researchers, Graduate students who use/plans to conduct quantitative analysis, etc.
Due to emphasis on imparting practical skills, this course also intends to serve as an introduction to more advanced analytical courses that emphasize independent thinking and coding skills. It intends to build a foundation of other courses that use that will follow.
