Driving program efficacy and impact through data lifecycle management

Client’s Challenge

The client - a social cohesion NGO in Lebanon - needed a unified system for managing performance data on their projects reintegrating fighters who had participated in local and regional episodes of political violence. They lacked a way to systematically capture data, resulting in irregularities, anomalies and missing values. Their manual analysis approach was additionally time consuming and insufficient to assess under what conditions reintegration activities were impactful or not.

Approach

Siren mapped and identified the client’s organisational rules and processes. Through regular meetings, they identified and prioritised the needed components, modules and features to be developed in the digital solution.


With the client’s needs and existing processes mapped, the team consolidated and sanitised the client’s data in preparation for analysis. They also created a risk and need assessment tool - a digital platform tailored to the client’s processes and business rules that collects and unifies the sanitised data.  


The team built real-time data analysis and visualisation capabilities into the platform, enabling the client to identify emerging correlations between their programmatic activities and reintegration efforts. Its case flagging system also enabled the client to identify cases that require attention and take proactive course-correcting interventions. 

OUTCOMES

Streamlined data collection and analysis across multiple sources. 

Reduced data search times.

Enhanced monitoring of programme outputs and impact evaluation.

Enhanced data security through robust user role and access management.
