Poverty reduction and regional integration (PRARI) data [Data Collection] ESRC project ES/L005336/1. Colchester, Essex: UK Data Archive

The data collection, deposited in the UK Data Archive [Yeates, Nicola (2017). Poverty reduction and regional integration (PRARI) data. [Data Collection]. Colchester, Essex: UK Data Archive. 10.5255/UKDA-SN-852837], consists of a comprehensive User Guide, 48 transcripts from individual interviews and Toolkits workshops and background documents. The interviews and workshops were conducted with diverse participants drawn from policy and practitioner fields in two geographical areas of the world: the Southern African Development Community(SADC) region in Southern Africa, and the Union of South American Nations(UNASUR) region in South America. Research participants included public officials (spanning policy formation, bio-statistical experts, monitoring and evaluation) from government ministries and regional secretariats, and representatives of health and poverty-focused civil society organisations (service and advocacy non-governmental organisations, and health practitioners).
The data is organised into two principal file strands: Interviews and Toolkits. The Interviews file strand is sub-divided into South America (UNASUR) and Southern Africa (SADC) components. Each of these strands contains qualitative data, while the Toolkits data also contains quantitative data (indicators). This data is already published in the Toolkits themselves and freely available, but for the convenience of the user of this dataset is included in this deposition. Transcripts of interviews and workshops relating to the UNASUR regional health governance component of the project are in the Spanish language, and this may limit access for some users; all other transcripts are in English. The User Guide contains further information about the organisation of the research within the project, the analytical methods framing the cross-regional comparative analysis and the Toolkits, a list of acronyms and abbreviations for the English and Spanish language elements of the project, and project documents (workshop schedules and sample project information sheets, consent forms and interview guides) in the English language.

本数据集寄存于英国数据档案馆（UK Data Archive）[Yeates, Nicola (2017). 减贫与区域一体化（PRARI）数据集. [数据集]. 埃塞克斯郡科尔切斯特：英国数据档案馆. 10.5255/UKDA-SN-852837]，包含一份完整的用户指南、48份个人访谈与工具包研讨会转录稿，以及背景文档。本次访谈与研讨会的参与者来自全球两个地理区域的政策与实务领域：南部非洲的南部非洲发展共同体（SADC）区域，以及南美洲的南美国家联盟（UNASUR）区域，涵盖多元群体。研究参与者包括来自政府部门及区域秘书处的公职人员，涵盖政策制定、生物统计、监测与评估等领域，以及聚焦健康与减贫领域的民间社会组织代表（服务与倡导类非政府组织、医疗从业者）。
本数据集分为两大核心文件组：访谈文件组与工具包文件组。其中访谈文件组进一步划分为南美洲（UNASUR）与南部非洲（SADC）两个子模块。两组文件均包含定性数据，而工具包文件组还额外包含定量数据（指标项）。此类数据已随工具包公开发布且可免费获取，本次馆藏将其收录其中，仅为方便数据集使用者。
与项目中南美区域健康治理模块相关的访谈与研讨会转录稿采用西班牙语撰写，可能会对部分使用者造成获取限制；其余所有转录稿均使用英语。用户指南包含更多关于项目内研究组织架构、支撑跨区域比较分析的研究方法与工具包的相关信息，还列出了项目中英语与西班牙语内容的首字母缩略词与缩写对照表，以及英语版本的项目文档（研讨会日程、示例项目信息表、知情同意书与访谈提纲）。
