OUR SERVICES
Facilitating Knowledge Management
We believe that success in development responses lies in capturing, packaging, utilization and dissemination of information, a process aptly referred to as Knowledge Management (KM). Under this flagship, we aspire to promote access to relevant and up-to-date development information that relates to diverse sectors and further compliments by promoting sound and effective use of ICTs.
Research and Documentation
Innovation in development responses, we believe, is a by-product of research and documentation of practices. It is imperative that interventions be informed by other success stories. We thus support and participate in research and documentation on key developmental issues that include HIV and AIDS, agriculture, water & sanitation, food security and sustainable livelihoods to meet the diverse needs of our partners. Our experience is derived from participating in several surveys at both national and regional.
Databases and Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs)
Development Data understands the need for stakeholders, especially those involved in social development, to harness information communication technologies in their day-to-day activities.
