Research Design, Mobile Data Collection, Mapping and Analysis Training Course

Introduction

In the development world, there have been a large 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. To learn the better management of the process of converting the potential of data science to real development outcomes and to generate the new insights to change behaviors not only of their employees but beneficiary and communities too the training could be helpful for you.
