TRAINING COURSE ON RESEARCH DESIGN ODK MOBILE DATA COLLECTION GIS MAPPING AND DATA ANALYSIS USING NVIVO AND SPSS
Details
INTRODUCTION
Effective decision making is made possible due to the availability of data collected from different surveys conducted in all phases of life like Socio-Economic, Demographic, Health, Nutrition, Food Security, opinion polls among others. It is necessary that these efforts go beyond merely generating new insights from data but also to systematically enhance individual human judgment in real development contexts
This training will help organizations as well as individuals manage the process of converting the potential of data science to real development outcomes better by empowering the participants with the necessary skills to produce accurate and cost-effective data and reports that are useful and friendly for decision making. It will be conducted using ODK, GIS, NVIVO and SPSS.
Participants who successfully complete the course will receive Certificate of Participation.
