Pan-African Census Explorer - Census Explorer

Many researchers are interested in having the ability to manipulate the data in unique ways. These high-end users are primarily interested in the third component of PACE, Census Explorer. Census Explorer allows for maximum flexibility while taking advantage of PACE data processing (standard data and meta-data).  The Census Explorer allows users to have access to the census micro-data for dynamic query to produce subsets of the data, export data to multiple file types, run specific analysis and produce output in the form of tables, figures or maps. It provides access to all of the functionality of the Census Navigator and the Census Guide as well as full flexibility for specific in-depth analysis by designated researchers.

User authentication and strict access control is required to ensure that the custodial mission of ACAP is not compromised. Consequently, this phase of the project—providing internet-based access to the micro data—requires substantial investment in material, human and financial resources.
