SDMX at ADB

ADB, through the ERDD, has positioned itself to play a key role in the adoption of SDMX in its DMCs across Asia and the Pacific. ERDD has enhanced the capacity of DMCs and conducted SDMX training for staff from national statistics offices and other data-producing agencies. This includes the creation (in collaboration with development partners) of e-learning courses on SDMX foundation and key SDMX tools. More than 700 participants from over 65 countries around the world have successfully completed these online training courses.
