Organization:
REPOA
Expiration Date:
8 August 2008

REPOA will be repeating two popular courses in September and you are invited to submit an application:

·         If you work for a Civil Society Organisation

or

·         If you are a junior researcher.

Members of Civil Society Organisations in Tanzania may apply to attend the course on Budget Analysis. This workshop will enhance the capacity of CSOs to analyse and understand the National Budget and the government processes that impact on the allocation and utilization of resources. Course content includes:
·         The government’s budget framework – revenue and expenditure

·         Planning and budget processes at the national and council levels and their linkages

·         The execution of government plans and budgets and entry points for CSOs

·         Methods and tools for analysing and monitoring the National Budget

·         Links to MKUKUTA’s goals and targets

·         Using the Tanzania Governance Noticeboard (TGN) to access and analyse budget data

Beginning and junior researchers may apply for training on data exploration and resampling methods in applied statistics. Participants will learn how to use data descriptions as a tool for discovery (hypothesis seeking). Course content includes:
·         Describing a distribution

·         Comparing distributions

·         Describing a conditional distribution

·         Diagnostic analysis

·         Assessing sampling uncertainty from data

·         The principle of plausible inference: description as analysis

Applicants should have a good academic background in statistics and quantitative methods, and be conversant with STATA.
 
Further details on these courses, including the application process, can be obtained from REPOA and on REPOA’s website.

Both courses will be held in Dar es Salaam from 8th to 12th September. REPOA will meet the cost of travel and accommodation for participants from outside of Dar es Salaam, and there are no course fees.

The closing date for applications is August 8th.

It is regretted that due to time constraints we will only be able to respond to those who are successful with their application.
