Our Vision & Approach
for Building Data Capacity *
We believe open data has the power to drive decisions, improve delivery of services to citizens, and enhance public outreach and advocacy. We are committed to make our technology available to those who share the same values.
Open data has the power to drive decisions, improve delivery of services to citizens, and enhance public outreach and advocacy. Public institutions, nonprofits and media in developing countries are increasingly engaging in efforts to adopt technologies and use open data deliver on their missions. Yet, they often find themselves lacking access to tools, resources, and skills to help them effectively analyze data to improve decision-making and arm the public with digestible information. At Keshif, we have developed a program to fill this digital access and literacy gap.
Our program provides contextualized tools, an easily deployable and affordable technology, and skills to support institutions to drive decisions, deliver programs and improve policy. We aim to strengthen the voice of civil society organizations to enhance their advocacy efforts for an informed public.
We designed a rapid and iterative learning journey based around the needs of mission driven organizations, and the strengths of our easy-to-use and locally adaptable data visualization and analytics technology. By combining Keshif’s ready-deployable visualizations with hands-on training modules and one-on-one mentorships, we make it easy for the community of practitioners — with or without data background — to learn, adapt, and rapidly develop open data applications for public good.
- * Defining Data Capacity :
