- Handles multiple census data sets (across years and countries) including all the documentation related to the data;
- Produce tables at request;
- Extract standard recoded files for research purposes (e.g., ASCII, SAS, SPSS, STATA);
- Provides access to ACAP enhanced microdata incorporating record linkage, geographic harmonization, undercount correction, etc;
- Compute main demographic parameters (life tables, fertility schedules, etc.) at selected level of analysis (individual, household) for a chosen level of administrative unit;
- Produce main social and demographic indicators (fertility, mortality, migration, education, occupation) by local administration units across years and countries);
- Present maps on request and indicators at selected administrative unit level;
- Provide full flexibility for specific in-depth analysis by designated researchers;
- User authentication and
access control ensure that the custodial mission of ACAP is not compromised;
Currently data harmonization
and enhancement efforts are being focused on Census data from South Africa
(1970, 1985, 1991, and 1996), Botswana (1981 and 1991), the Gambia and
Zambia.
