The impact of the training has been evidenced by increased knowledge and skills among participants to analyse and use data for evidence-based decision-making using STATA. CESAR facilitators are highly skilled and knowledgeable and can deliver the course content as designed. Most interestingly, the course was more practical, and the country data sets were used, and this interests most participants as the course was modified to suit the country context.
Morongoe Nyakane Nkoko Ministry of Health, LesothoFrom 30 January to 3 February 2023, two of JET’s staff attended the Stata Data Cleaning and Management training course conducted by the Centre for Statistical Analysis and Research (CESAR). Since this training, the two JET staff are more efficient, and therefore, much faster in terms of data cleaning and management. I can highly recommend the CESAR Data Cleaning and Management course, and because of the impact that the training has had, JET intends to send staff members on the Comprehensive Data Analysis Course using Stata.
