Training in poverty analysis using STATA

On 22-26 March 2021,  UNU-WIDER, the University of Eduardo Mondlane, the Ministry of Economy and Finance of Mozambique and the University of Copenhagen will organize a training in poverty analysis using STATA, a statistical analysis software used to analyse data patterns.

To be organized at the University of Eduardo Mondlane, the main objective of the training will be to provide tools for poverty analysis using the above-mentioned software. The course will open with an overview on the topics of development and poverty and an introduction to STATA. Mixing theory with practical exercises, solved both alone and in groups, the participants will learn about poverty profiles, the determinants of poverty and methodologies to estimate costs of basic needs using the 2014/15 Household Survey database. The course will also include an introduction to multidimensional poverty analysis.

The course participants will be a mixture of government analysts, academics and students from the University of Eduardo Mondlane.
