The workshop empowers participants with the skills to effectively use MicroZAMOD—a powerful tool for analyzing the potential outcomes of various social protection policy changes. Attendees gain a comprehensive understanding of both the capabilities and limitations of MicroZAMOD, fostering a productive environment for knowledge exchange and learning.

Objectives

This workshop is unique in its approach to building a sustainable community of MicroZAMOD practitioners within Zambia. By focusing on the national team's leadership in the organization and delivery of the workshop, we aim to ensure that knowledge and expertise are rooted deeply within local institutions. Our vision extends beyond this event, aiming to embed MicroZAMOD knowledge within key stakeholder institutions and policy think tanks, thereby enriching the policy modelling landscape in Zambia.
