Making Data Work for You: Using Research to Improve Practice and Communicate Impact
Data becomes truly valuable when it helps improve programmes, guide real-time decisions, and communicate your impact more effectively.
This resource will help teams move from being data-wary to data-ready. Through real examples from the sector, you will be able to explore how both quantitative and qualitative data can be used to inform programme design, know when to pivot, and contribute to larger conversations around development and impact.
You’ll also learn how to design participatory, reflective research processes that include your team, your community, and your leadership — making data something your whole organisation can own and use.
With this resource you will be able to:
- Build confidence in working with data, even without a research team
- Learn to use data for timely decisions and programme improvement
- See real-life examples of NGOs using data well — without being data-heavy
This session is recommended for mid to senior programme team members in nonprofits looking to make better use of data for design, decision-making, and storytelling — across sectors.
