2010 Pakistan HIPE Education Projection Model and Profile Workshop and Training
	In collaboration with Department of Education of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province (formerly known as NWFP) in Pakistan, EPDC developed a HIPE model designed to project pupil enrollment and teacher needs by gender, school, and district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province. The HIPE analytic and planning tool also includes district-level education profiles with the most recent EMIS education data and projections to 2015. In May 2010, EPDC staff traveled to Islamabad to lead a capacity development workshop for provincial and district EMIS personnel and members of the Pre-STEP team on the use of the tool. The tools and the manual are currently under development and will become available later online.

2009 Education Data Quality Workshop
	Among stakeholders there are different views of what constitutes quality education. However, there is a strong consensus that measurement of education quality is critically important, and that gaps in data must be filled to do this meaningfully. In collaboration with the U.S. Government, the Education Policy and Data Center and the Basic Education Coalition invited 65 key partners in civil society, business, international finance institutions, and the G8 to a two-day workshop to reach consensus on the key issues in the measurement of education quality and actions needed to close data-gaps. The workshop was convened January 13-14, 2009, at the Academy for Educational Development in Washington DC. The agenda included discussing key issues of education quality from four perspectives, identifying gaps in data, and agreeing on next action steps. Read More about the Quality Workshops

2009 Zambia Education Profile Workshop and Training
	In 2009, EPDC collaborated with the Ministry of Education in Zambia and the Education Quality Improvement Program (EQUIP) to develop district-level education profiles that present EMIS data alongside data analysis by district policymakers. The profiles have been integrated into the administrative monitoring system for the country, and have been used by the districts as a tool to identify and communicate policy priorities, engage stakeholders, and request funds and support. EPDC also produced a visual manual on education indicators and contributed to a series of workshops designed to encourage evidence-based decision making at the district level.
