Stepping up in your Data Journey
You are always somewhere on the path between data and wisdom. Consciously or subconsciously, as an organisation and as a person, input from your surroundings is continually entered as data, which you either choose to discard, or process into useful information.

Data is not all about technology
Learn more about how we combine People, Process and Technology in our work. We as D4D love to talk about data, as our primary mission is to help non-profits to enhance their impact by embedding data-driven decision making at the core of their organization.

Data challenges or data opportunities?
As a strong advocate for data-driven knowledge and decision making in the nonprofit sector, it is interesting to see how more and more organizations are becoming aware of the importance of data.

Partos Innovation Festival

We gave half-hourly workshops on ProMEva and IATI, Gyan got to go on speeddates and Maaike was part of a panel on ‘Data & Digitalisation’. In this blog, we will recap the interesting and inspiring day at the Innovation Festival.
