WITH FUNDING FROM the World Bank, the Joint Program in Survey Methodology (JPSM) designed an innovative remote training delivery mode for a 10-week intensive training program providing a much-needed overview of survey sampling procedures to statisticians at the National Bureau of Statistics and academic institutions in Tanzania. The World Bank received more than a thousand applications to their call to enter this JPSM training program. Ultimately, 20 students were selected to take the training course. “Our World Bank colleagues say that many graduates are currently applying this JPSM training to technically support the sampling activities of such upcoming surveys as the National Panel Survey, the Household Budget Survey, the Annual Agricultural Sample Survey, the Financial Scoping Survey, and more” said Professor and Director Partha Lahiri. “We expect that this new training delivery mode will play a major role in capacity building.
