Course description
Workshop Overview
The Advanced Workshop on Planning,
Research, and Statistics for Public Sector Transformation is designed
to strengthen the capacity of policymakers, planners, and statisticians to
effectively use evidence, data, and foresight in shaping national development
strategies. In today’s governance environment, data and research are critical
assets for decision-making, performance monitoring, and long-term policy
planning.
This workshop will provide participants with
practical tools and frameworks to link research and statistics to strategic
planning, enabling them to design more effective policies, measure
institutional performance, and ensure accountability. Through a blend of
expert-led sessions, case studies, and hands-on exercises, participants will
gain actionable skills to align planning processes with national development
goals and international best practices.
The overarching aim is to equip participants
with the ability to transform raw data into strategic insights that support policy
design, improve service delivery, and foster sustainable socio-economic growth.
By the end of this workshop,
participants will be able to:
§ integrate data and research into strategic planning
processes;
§ develop evidence-based policies aligned with performance
targets;
§ apply statistical methods to monitor and evaluate
institutional effectiveness;
