Workshop Objective
The main objective of the workshop is to develop the capacity of university students and teachers in sampling design for national surveys in Nepal. The National Statistics Office, along with international and national organizations, conducts large national surveys such as the Nepal Living Standard Measurement Survey, Nepal Labor Force Survey, Nepal Distributive Trade Survey, and Nepal Tourism Surveys, and disseminates the results at the national level. Students are often not aware of these activities. By the end of the workshop, students and teachers will understand how sampling methodologies are used to conduct national surveys.
