Currently, the organization faces challenges in efficiently collecting, organizing, and storing data related to grants, conferences, local events and other relevant information. This project aims to streamline these processes by developing a more effective data management system. The goal is to create a structured and user-friendly database that will allow ODLAN to easily access and review critical information, thereby improving operational efficiency and decision-making.
Key tasks include:
- Assessing the current data management practices.
- Identifying gaps and inefficiencies in the existing system.
- Create a written data collection process
- Update data management framework.
- Implementing the updated system and train staff on its use.
The project will result in a comprehensive data management system tailored to the needs of ODLAN. This includes:
- A detailed report on the current data management practices and identified gaps.
- A upgraded database structure for storing information on grants, conferences, and other relevant data.
- A brief report on the changes and upgrades that have been carried out.
