Strengthening humanitarian data analysis capacity
RedR is offering free learning courses in humanitarian data analysis and decision-making
Why does data analysis matter?
In the midst of humanitarian crisis, the right decisions can save lives. Yet so many choices are made without proper analysis of the best data. Our mission is to change that.
Without comprehensive analysis, the specific needs of crisis-affected and vulnerable populations risk being poorly understood.
Principled and evidence-based decision-making for disaster-affected people is only possible with analytical capacities available based on a strong methodological foundation and a solid theoretical framework.
What are the dynamics that influence a life-saving decision?
The humanitarian decision-making process often appears like a black box, where evidence goes in and a decision comes out. We want to open-up the box, and help decision-makers in the sector to reflect on the underlying dynamics of humanitarian decision-making, mitigate biases, and make better and more effective use of evidence.
We’re offering many learning opportunities, including online bitesize training through the Data Literacy Learning Series, that include blended courses (online and self paced), , face-to-face training tailored to contexts in East Africa and the Middle East, simulations and exercises that targets decision makers, and a10-week Humanitarian Analysis Bootcamp beginning September 2024 (spaces now full).
