Trainings offered by STATREG Project in January

During January trainings for NBS staff have been organized within "Improved regional statistics in Moldova" EU funded Project (STATREG), as follows:

Tableau Public on territorial indicators dissemination

On 11-12 January 2017, the National Bureau of Statistics staff benefitted of a training on the use of Tableau Public to disseminate territorial indicators.

This application makes possible to connect to statistical data files and develop indicators presentations in an intuitive manner by using maps, charts, bar graphs, etc., which can be combined in dashboards.

In addition, the application allows to visualize territorial indicators development and to share them with other entities and stakeholders in order to draw conclusions that institutions can rely on in managing and controlling their activity, in particular in formulating strategic decisions. Tableau Public also allows to upload on the website dashboards and visualizations produced for data dissemination.
