INTRODUCTION
New 
developments in data science offer a tremendous opportunity to improve 
decision-making. In the development world, there has been an increase in 
the number of data gathering initiative such as baseline surveys, 
Socio-Economic Surveys, Demographic and Health Surveys, Nutrition Surveys, Food 
Security Surveys, Program Evaluation Surveys, Employees, customers and vendor 
satisfaction surveys, and opinion polls among others, all intended to provide 
data for decision making.
It 
is essential that these efforts go beyond merely generating new insights from 
data but also to systematically enhance individual human judgment in real 
development contexts. How can organizations better manage the process of 
converting the potential of data science to real development outcomes. This ten 
days’ hands-on course is tailored to put all these important considerations into 
perspective. It is envisioned that upon completion, the participants will be 
empowered 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 R.
