Day 2 of our Data collection and Goloka Application training was a hands-on success!

We led a practical session on using our AI-powered platform, @GolokaAnalytics , to collect data on small-scale women farmers across Nigeria.

We're pleased to see our participants mastering the skills to capture data and support data-driven decision-making for @swofon , @OpenBudgets , and the Government.

We look forward to exploring more opportunities to make a positive impact.

EXCITING THREAD: 🚀 Today, our Nigeria office launches a crucial workshop uniting diverse stakeholders across our initiatives in the country to align our global strategy with local initiatives.

[Dataphyte Foundation @Dataphytefdn]

Our AI-powered crowdsourcing platform, @GolokaAnalytics , is now in action!

In partnership with @OpenBudgets , we’re using Goloka to collect data on small-scale women farmers across five (5) states in Nigeria.

Yesterday, we successfully onboarded these farmers to the Small Holder Women Farmers platform, powered by Goloka, equipping them with essential data collection techniques.

By leveraging Goloka, we aim to support data-driven decision-making for @swofon @OpenBudgets and the Government. We’re committed to harnessing the power of technology and AI to streamline data collection, aggregation, and analysis, and we look forward to exploring more opportunities to make a positive impact.

PHOTOS: Our strategic plan workshop with partners in #Nigeria continues into the second day. Today, partners working in the agriculture and health sectors shared their key strategies for enhancing mobilization efforts to ensure greater government responsiveness, accountability, and institutional effectiveness.

In June, we were honoured to participate in a strategy workshop with our donor, the International Budget Partnership [@OpenBudgets ] (IBP).

The workshop aimed to align global strategies with country context priorities, focusing on gender and intersectionality.

At the International Center for Investigative Reporting (#ICIR), we're implementing the Strengthening Public Accountability for Results and Knowledge (SPARK) 2 project. Our investigative journalists are currently in the field uncovering health care and agricultural challenges especially as it relates to the deplorable state of Primary Healthcare Centers (PHCs), maternal health and the challenges faced by smallholder women farmers in Nigeria.

Our goal is to shift the mindset of decision-makers and stakeholders towards valuing inclusion, and the perspectives of marginalized communities in policy formulation and resource allocation.

We're grateful to IBP [@OpenBudgets ] for their support and look forward to continuing our collaboration to promote transparency, accountability, and good governance.
