Some challenges…

4/20/2011

• Coordination (internal and external)• Documentation and Access• Harmonization and Comparability– Ex-ante– Ex-post

• Not enough rigorous designs to improve survey instruments in the region

• Little data to understand mobility in the region

How the next two weeks can help…

• Improvements in data collection (i.e. continuous household surveys)

• Exploring alternative always to use existing data (i.e. LIPI and imputation methods)

• New ways of collecting data (i.e. mobile phone)• Better ways to manage data• Coordination initiatives (i.e. poverty

committees)
