DATA ANALYSIS FOR EVIDENCE-BASED ACCOUNTABILITY (IBM SPSS & NVIVO)

ENHANCE YOUR SKILLS IN USING DATA ANALYSIS SOFTWARES FOR DECISION-MAKING AND PROGRAMMING

Practical data analysis in CSOs and the public sector is still needed by most organizations. The current trend towards accountability forces CSOs and the public to move towards making decisions that are informed by the evidence from field data. The data analysis course using IBM SPSS and NVivo is designed based on MS TCDC's vast experience in training and field experience in supporting the public sector, private sector, and CSOs to have practical skills in data analysis of both quantitative and qualitative research for meaningful interpretation of the M&E data for meaningful decision-making. The course is designed in modules to facilitate easy reading and a logical flow through the course. The focus is purely on quantitative and qualitative data analyses using IBM SPSS and NVivo. This course has been developed with the role of statistical data analysis packages in making meaningful M&E data interpretations for decision-making purposes in mind.

‘’The classes are very interactive. Not for any moment, I have felt like I was afraid to approach my trainer or facilitator whenever I had difficulties. I felt like my friend was standing in front of me and teaching me a new method. Anything that I needed as a foreign student at MS TCDC was there”

‘‘It has been good for me as a project manager, to learn different ways of resource mobilization and how I can improve my skills in proposal writing. This is a very important course that I can recommend for every project or program manager as it is a very important skill that managers need to know how to mobilize resources."

“There is a big impact that I have seen not only from my perspective but also the perspective of my fellow participants. A lot of them have moved forward to develop resource mobilization strategies, and some of them are using those skills to engage with relevant donors to access funding. I know quite a few that have accessed funding as a result of that training - for instances our grantees in Rwanda, Zambia and Malawi who have been able to use those skills to access funds from GIZ.’’
