    ==========



    Harmonized Data
    ===============
    - The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) is used to clean and harmonize the datasets.
    - The harmonization process starts with cleaning all raw data files received from the Statistical Agency.
    - Cleaned data files are then all merged to produce one data file on the individual level containing all variables subject to harmonization.
    - A country-specific program is generated for each dataset to generate/compute /recode/rename/format/label harmonized variables.
    - A post-harmonization cleaning process is then conducted on the data.
    - Harmonized data is saved on the household as well as the individual level, in SPSS and converted to STATA format.
