Description
This training aims to strengthen the capacity of countries to produce ICT indicators and statistics according to international standards and methodologies. It is intended to assist national statistical offices in collecting and compiling ICT statistics on the access and use to ICTs by households and individuals, by providing guidance on the collection, processing, evaluation and dissemination of ICT household statistics. It presents the definitions of the indicators following the , as well practical advice how to plan, design and conduct ICT household surveys. After taking this course, participants should be able to manage the conduct of an ICT household survey at the national level.
With generous support from the Global Gateway initiative of the European Union, participation in this training programme is free of charge.
Participants completing the course will have a state-of-the-art understanding of the key methodological considerations, challenges, and global standards applied for collecting globally comparable data. They will first learn about the need for coordination at the national level, followed by all the steps necessary to plan and conduct an ICT household survey. Next the core indicators emanating from the survey will be taught. Participants will then learn how to design a survey that will collect these indicators, and how a survey should be processed and disseminated. Finally, participants will learn how to evaluate the survey process.
These outcomes will be acquired by following the videos for each module, performing exercises to reinforce the understanding of the concepts, and answering quizzes at the end of the end of each module.
Each of the five course modules will be concluded by a test (multiple-choice questions, quizzes, or small computation exercises). Participants successfully passing a test (reaching the 70% pass mark) will receive a badge specific to the Module. Participants collecting all five badges, thus completing the entire coursework, and successfully passing the final test will be entitled to receive a certificate of accomplishment.
