Tunisia Data Literacy Program

As part of the ongoing World Bank’s effort to provide the Tunisian Government high quality support in producing and analyzing data and statistics, the Program aims to sustainably transfer data literacy skills to government officials, media and academics and facilitate their synergy in support of the decision-making process in Tunisia.

Designed in collaboration with the Tunisian National Institute of Statistics (INS) and the Office for National Statistics (ONS- UK), the program is intended to deliver a modular online/onsite pedagogy both in English and French and share innovative open resources and tools with participants, so they can concretely integrate key data and statistics into specific economic and social policies.
