The main purpose is to enhance data used in project identification, design and evaluation for projects and programs at the district and provincial level of Indonesian government. To facilitate this a set of training modules is available for training BPS staff and university students in concepts and methods of analysis of district level data.

The specific objective is to improve analysis of authoritative data provided by Indonesia`s decennial Population Censuses and annual SUSENAS (National Social and Economic Surveys) especially in the context of Indonesia`s implementation of fundamental decentralization of government functions. Through this project Statistics Indonesia is working to correct and archive existing data sets, train local and central staff in techniques for district level analysis, and undertake high priority research for development planning.
