This mission is part of Outcome 1 activity, specifically on the improvement of evidence-based decision making via data availability and data analysis

Data is essential for national institutions and government to accurately plan, fund, and evaluate development activities; when turned into easy-to-understand and useful information, decision makers can use it to assess policy effectiveness and efficiency, allowing them to optimize resource allocation and refine policies based on evidence.

The process of collecting and tabulating statistical data is an essential task for monitoring the progress made in various sectors. It is important that the collected data be classified in a way that enables researchers and decision makers to fully benefit from it and compare it with similar data locally, regionally and internationally. This situation requires the training of data collectors in various sectors so that they are able to prepare data in the required manner to recognize the statistical methods for tabulating and displaying data, and introducing them to the local and international classifications for tabulating data, both by sector and the data that must be collected, tabulated, and classified in a way that achieves the objectives of the statistical process and provides statistical data that can be used.

In this regard, Expertise France invites proposals from qualified Libyan firms/institutions to provide SPSS Training to Libyan government officials. The Contractor is required to provide a 10-days training on Economic Data Analysis using SPSS to 20 participants drawn from various relevant institutions. At a minimum, the training should cover the following topics:
