Otherwise, it should be acknowledged that up to now, SAE is still a method that can be implemented only by experts. To overcome this limitation, the objective of this consultancy is to develop an automated SAE modelling tool related to a non-commercial statistical software. A strong requirement of this tool is that it should be user friendly (e.g. ready to click tool box). Another key feature is that the tool should be based on combining survey and census data, and give the possibility to use various statistical model specifications, going beyond the initial UNFPA SAE modelling.
