Course aim
The aim of this course is to introduce humanitarian professionals to the fundamentals of humanitarian data analysis, including the essentials of humanitarian analysis, analytical frameworks, identifying sources and biases and data visualisation and reporting.
This training is part of a series of learning courses within a wider project RedR UK is undertaking to increase data and decision-making capacity in the humanitarian sector – supported by USAID, from the American People.
Course Description
The course will be 3 days of in-person learning of Essentials of Humanitarian Data Analysis, followed by a 2-day Training of Trainers, which will equip participants to cascade the training within their organisation and networks. The participants can join only the EHDA part or both. The course will involve some theory-based sessions as well as practical simulation-style work to strengthen the likelihood of learners going on to apply their knowledge and skills in their roles.
No existing knowledge is required for attending this course, but learners should come up with an idea of what they might want to use data for in their work and an understanding of the humanitarian data sources that exist.
Target Audience
This course is aimed to "bridge the gap" between local organisations and individuals involved in direct humanitarian response work in communities, and decision makers/managers overseeing programmes and/or portfolios of work. Learners will likely be in programming and coordination positions who may use data to better inform planning, implementation and decision-making.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the course, learners will be able to:
- Understand the data life cycle and its relevance to planning and programming in humanitarian contexts
- Identify and address biases and ethical challenges in analysing humanitarian data
- Explore different approaches to analysing qualitative and quantitative data in humanitarian contexts
- Apply participatory approaches to working with humanitarian data
- Understand how the results of different analyses can be brought together to produce insights.
Course Structure
The course will consist of five days of in-person facilitated sessions, each lasting eight hours. Participants are responsible for arranging their travel and transportation to and from the venue in Amman, Jordan.
