Data in rural contexts

Systems that connect field collection, databases and decision-making.

From programme logic to reporting and use.

Driftline Data combines M&E expertise, data system development, training and standalone data analyst support.

01

Build the foundation

Theories of Change, results frameworks, logframes, indicators, measurement plans and M&E plans.

02

Connect the system

Data collection, databases, cleaning, validation, automated analysis, dashboards and routine reporting.

03

Turn data into use

Training, documentation, data-quality practices and review cycles that support programme management.

Three parts of organisational data capability.

A data system works when the infrastructure, the people using it and the organisation’s review practices are addressed together. Our approach is informed by experience implementing systems in rural and resource-constrained settings.

01

Infrastructure

Connected tools and workflows for data capture, storage, quality assurance, analysis and reporting.

02

Capacity

Training, documentation and technical support so teams can use and maintain their systems.

03

Culture

A shared expectation that data is reviewed, discussed and used to learn, adapt programmes and support decisions—not only collected for reporting.

Your data should reduce uncertainty—not create more admin.

A free Data and M&E Diagnostic reviews your current systems, what is working and the main gaps. You will receive a short summary of observations and suggested priorities, with no obligation to continue.
