INTRODUCTIONNew developments in data science offer a tremendous
opportunity to improve decision-making. In the development world,
there has been an increase in the number of data gathering initiative
such as baseline surveys, Socio-Economic Surveys, Demographic and
Health Surveys, Nutrition Surveys, Food Security Surveys, Program
Evaluation Surveys, Employees, customers and vendor satisfaction
surveys, and opinion polls among others, all intended to provide data
for decision making.
It is essential that these efforts go beyond merely generating new
insights from data but also to systematically enhance individual human
judgment in real development contexts.
How can organizations better manage the process of converting the
potential of data science to real development outcomes? How can
organizations go beyond merely generating new insights to changing
behaviors — not only of their employees, but beneficiary and
communities too?
This ten days hands-on course is tailored to put all these important
consideration into perspective.
It is envisioned that upon completion, the participants will be
empowered with the necessary skills to produce accurate and cost
effective data and reports that are useful and friendly for decision
making.
It will be conducted using ODK, GIS, NVIVO and SPSS
