In this webinar, Peter Lynn and Charles Lau, authors of Chapter 7 of the Handbook, will guide participants through the full lifecycle of survey data processing — from raw data to final datasets ready for analysis and dissemination The session will cover the core stages of data processing — receiving and integrating data, checking and editing for errors and inconsistencies, classification and coding of free-text responses, imputation of missing values, and the creation of recoded and derived variables. Participants will also gain guidance on producing final data files, including statistical disclosure control, metadata documentation, and data storage. The webinar will close by looking ahead to emerging approaches such as AI-assisted coding and imputation, and the use of multimedia data capture in household surveys. The session will also feature a panel discussion with country representatives, exploring how the guidance in Chapter 7 is influencing national survey practices, where further expansion or more practical examples would strengthen its applicability, and what tools, training, or cross-country collaboration would best support countries in implementing the guidance.
