By IPC-IG
Micro-course 'Data and information'

The self-paced micro-course 'Data and information'—the second in the e-Learning Series on Adaptive Social Protection—has just been launched today, 09 May 2022, by the socialprotection.org platform, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), and the International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth (IPC-IG). 

In order to design and provide appropriate resilience-building programmes, it is necessary to understand household vulnerability, and who is most likely to be at risk from different kinds of shocks. In this context, course participants will learn about data and information systems for shock preparedness and response, and social registries for adaptive social protection (ASP). 

The ‘Data and information’ micro-course will address these issues through a multisectoral approach, focusing on the collection, sharing and analysis of data; strengthening the information systems that inform the delivery of social protection programmes; and coordination between relevant sectors. 

The course will be online from 9 May to 9 June. It is composed of four modules and takes between three and four hours to complete. 

About the e-Learning series on adaptive social protection 

This e-Learning series aims to provide a solid foundational knowledge of each of the four building blocks of the ASP framework and promote an understanding, through examples, of how to operationalise their main aspects of design and implementation. It consists of four micro-courses, geared at practitioners and policymakers in the fields of social protection, climate change and emergency response. The first two courses of the series have already been launched. 

Course #1 Programmes and delivery systems  
Course #2 Data and information 
Course #3 Financing  
Course #4 Institutional arrangements and partnerships 
 
This is the second series of micro-courses developed by the socialprotection.org platform, in collaboration with the IPC-IG, and sponsored by the GIZ. The first series was on Social protection fundamentals and topics.
