INTRODUCTION
New
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. This ten
days’ hands-on course is tailored to put all these important considerations 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 R.
