A presentation from the 2014 Annual Results and Impact Evaluation Workshop for RBF, held in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

1. ADEPT-RBF TRAINING SESSION
BUENOS AIRES, MARCH 2014

2. OBJECTIVES
1. Introduce Adept-RBF, a software developed by DEC
ADEPT team in collaboration with RBF team to help
automating administrative data analysis
2. Provide hands-one experience with using Adept-RBF on
computer
3. Collect feedbacks on the software for improvements

3. WHAT IS ADEPT AND
WHY ADEPT-RBF?

4. ADEPT - THE SOFTWARE PLATFORM FOR
AUTOMATED ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
 Free program designed by DECRG to simplify and
standardize data analysis
 Produces automated tables and graphs from micro-level
survey data
 Exports results in excel which allows for further editing by
users
 Consists of multiple modules (Poverty, Inequality, Labor,
Gender, Education, Health, and Social Protection)
 ADEPT-HEALTH module typically uses DHS, WHS, LSMS
for equity analysis in service utilization, health outcomes,
and expenditure.

5. ADEPT-RBF FOR RBF OP DATA
 Makes it easy and fast to analyze data (no need Stata or
internet)
 Assures accuracy of data analysis
 Produces standardized statistics and facilitates comparison
among facilities, districts, IE groups, countries, etc.
 Imposes almost no cost to teams, hence very sustainable
 By unloading the burden of data analysis, helps team to
practice regular M&E and focus on results.

AND HOW IT WORKS

7. INPUT DATA REQUIREMENTS
FOR ADEPT-RBF

8. DATA REQUIREMENTS
 Data format: Stata or Delimited Text files
 Data files list:
• Facility identity: ID, region, district, IE group,…
• Quantitative indicators
• Qualitative indicators
• Payment data
• Reference parameters
• Catchment population
 Files are linked together by the ID variable, so it’s important to
have a unique numeric ID for each facility

10. FIGURE THE DATASETS IN ADEPT

11. HOW TO PREPARE THE DATASETS?
Standard Procedure:
• Import Data sources into Stata: usually in Excel format
(separate files)
• Construct separate data files on quantity, quality, and
payment
• Create the 5 final datasets with a good naming
convention, variables labeled,…
Current ADEPT version read data in Stata format. Team
is working on a version to read data in Excel format.
