DataFirst is involved in training and technical support for microdata management and usage in Africa.  Training undertaken by the unit includes regular workshops on survey analysis to train African quantitative social scientists.

The unit also maintains the website for a web course on The Analysis of South African Household Survey Data which is a distance learning tool to advance regional quantitative analysis skills. The course is free and self-paced.

DataFirst works with the International Household Survey Network's OECD funded project, the Accelerated Data Program to provide tools and training for the management and dissemination of African census and survey microdata.
