CAPACITY BUILDING
Build Capacity For Data-Driven Decision Making
Develop systems to monitor progress, measure outcomes, and use data for continuous improvement.
When you are expected to demonstrate your results, internal capacity for evaluation becomes essential. A&O helps teams develop practical systems to monitor progress, measure outcomes, and use data to inform decisions. We guide organizations through the process of building internal evaluation methods, data collection tools, and effective reporting.
