This task focuses on generating regional and global estimates of primary enrollment rates in African countries, addressing missing data, weighting, level, trend analysis, and implications of missingness patterns. The discussion includes imputation methods, weighting strategies, and the impact of country dominance on aggregate results. The role of diagnostics in assessing data quality and communicating findings is emphasized.

Imputation • None • Explicit or Implicit • Time Series – whole or partial-within country • Pooling information from ‘neighbours’ • Auxiliary Information • Diagnostics?
Aggregation Mainly straightforward • Weighted aggregation • Choice of appropriate weights • Diagnostics • Rules of suppression vary • % region, % countries • The China Question • Dominance of large coutries
Estimating Change / Trends • What is purpose • Summarise progress of region • Summarise progress of countries within region • Role of weights • Changing mix of countries • No new Data • Diagnostics • Communication
Documentation • What, where, how?
