This training supports the project on improving access to survey microdata in Asia and the Pacific, which is under the Accelerated Data Program (ADP). The project is funded by the World Bank Development Grant Facility and managed by the PARIS21 secretariat of OECD. It aims to improve access to and the utilization of microdata collected through household surveys and censuses.

The purpose of the workshop was to train staff members of national statistical offices in the concepts of statistical disclosure control (SDC), i.e. methods to measure and reduce the risk of disclosing the identity of census/survey respondents, and tools for the anonymization of to be disseminated census/survey micro datasets.
