The database

 

The data is organized by sectors and themes and provides updated time-series as well as multiple estimates from various sources, disaggregated data down to district, Ward, Village level, by sex and urban/rural strata wherever these are available. TSED also allows for user-friendly analysis, through table, graph and map options and provides an opportunity to calculate composite indices.

The NBS in collaboration with the ministries involved is responsible for data management of the TSED including quality control, updating of TSED and release of updated versions.

TSED and its presentation features are available on-line (www.tsed.org) and is updated on a day-to-day basis. The database is also available on CD-ROM for those without access to the Internet.
