Within the framework of its Statistical Capacity Building (StatCaB) Programme, SESRIC will organise a Training Course on ‘SDG 1 (No Poverty) Indicators’ for the benefit of National Statistical Offices (NSOs) and other relevant stakeholders in the National Statistical Systems (NSSs) of OIC countries on 24-26 June 2024 through an online video conferencing platform.

Mrs. Eman TAHA HASSAN MOHAMMED, Statistician and Economist at the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS) of Egypt and Mr. Ahmed GAMAL MOHAMED RAMADAN, Senior Statistician and Data Engineer at the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS) of Egypt, will conduct the course and cover the following topics:

• Theoretical Framework for Different Concepts Related to Poverty
• Different Methods for Setting a Poverty Line
• Identifying the Practical Steps for Calculating the Poverty Line

The StatCaB Programme was initiated in early 2007 as the flagship capacity development programme of SESRIC. Within the framework of the StatCaB Programme, the Centre collects information from the NSOs of OIC member countries through the biennial StatCaB Questionnaire, assesses their statistical training needs and capacities, matches these needs and capacities, and organises statistical capacity development activities between the beneficiary and provider countries.
