Description:

NGOs in recent times are collecting large amounts of data - operational and beneficiary related that could drive insights across their programs and internal organization. This data comes from multiple sources via Apps, Surveys, Messaging, IVRs etc. But, lack of technical personnel capacity, cost, knowledge of modern data pipelining tools all combine to make this a difficult endeavor to make the jump from digital data collection to program and operational efficiencies and insights.

In this talk, we plan to take the audience through the problem, our solution, the impact and the journey.
