Open Tea 2020
On January 16th, we will organise the first Open Tea of 2020, in cooperation with Save the Children. During this edition, speakers from SPARK, Save the Children and Data4Development will take the stage to share their data experience and -challenges.
Data Literacy for Data-Driven Decision Making
Earlier this year, Data4Development was approached by Save the Children Netherlands (StC) with the question: how can we, at Save the Children, increase our data literacy to become more data-driven?
This question made our hearts pound as data-driven decision making and data literacy run through our veins! To tackle the challenge of StC and support their trajectory towards Data Literacy, we designed a Data Literacy Journey.
How we design a dashboard: Embedding People, Processes, Technology
Many assume that developing a dashboard is centered around digital technology. However, we as Data4Development believe technology is just one piece of the puzzle. In creating a dashboard, we are convinced that we need people and the processes as much as we need technology. Only when people, processes and technology are truly aligned, can technology really work and data starts to speak.

“Lead by data driven knowledge” has been D4D’s slogan since our start in 2015. Our purpose is to support NGO’s and non profit organisations with improving the way they produce and use their data in order to increase efficiency and effectiveness of their activities. The term ‘data driven’ can be ambiguous. It is quite a broad and intangible concept. Last week, D4D had an evaluation meeting about its content and outreach strategy, supported by clear data. This example shows how, at Data4Development, we practice what we preach.
A new Open Tea is coming!
We invite you to the second D4D Open Tea of 2019 at PAX in Utrecht! This time, three NGO data experts will take the stage to talk about their data challenges in order to get some insights from other experts in the room.
Value of performance management for Nonprofits
Nonprofit organisations work in complex settings tackling complex issues. Nevertheless, they are committed to continuously enhancing their social impact and contributing to the public good. Increasingly, though, non profit organisations are under pressure to work more efficiently and effectively to cope with limited resources.

Strategic Partnerships: How can you stand out?
The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) collaborates with NGOs and nonprofit organizations to increase their impact on long-term strategic goals. For the NGO or nonprofit organization, joining a Strategic Partnership usually means some funding for projects that support these goals.
How nonprofits spark technological innovation
Innovation is a term which can be heard often in the nonprofit sector. Many organizations have their own innovation or learning teams who strive to obtain innovation. Innovation, however, is a broad concept, which ranges from social innovation to technological innovation
