GBA Plus: Get the Data Toolbox – 2 Day Online Workshop (PV266) - NEW
To register please scroll down to the Register Online section and begin by selecting your organization’s billing province (for taxation calculation). These all rely on good data: policy analysis, programme design, risk assessment, and performance measurement. All these disciplines need to be sensitive to the nature of the people involved through the lens of Gender-Based Analysis-Plus (GBA Plus, formerly GBA+). Policies and programmes are often developed and evaluated without a full and wide appreciation of actual needs or impacts. An increasing schism between the political centre and the periphery points to the need for a heightened care in gathering and giving meaning to data. GBA Plus provides us with a framework within which we can undertake our inquires, research and analysis, using quantitative and especially qualitative techniques. We will start the workshop with a general framework for evidence-based decision-making and public involvement, then segue into ideas for improved critical thought. We will examine bias from various vantage points. After that, we will briefly address quantitative analysis before drilling into the core of the workshop which is qualitative research and analysis and the associated tools of interviews and surveys. When it comes to GBA Plus, we’ll look at gender, but also study the value of the + reached through intersectional or diversity analysis. In general, morning activities will be information-sharing through lecturettes and discussion; afternoon activities will feature group work related to research-, interview-, and survey-design and delivery. Methodology: A mixture of lecturettes, discussions, and hands-on group work. Relationship to other workshops offered by Ian H: In Policy Analysis Toolbox Parts 1 and 2, “Get the Data” and GBA Plus are addressed but are neither demonstrated nor practiced. About four-hour’s worth of GBA Plus: Get the Data ToolBox is demonstrated and practiced within the Performance Measurement and Evaluation workshop. Thus, in most cases GBA Plus: Get the Data Toolbox is a good follow-up workshop. There are no prerequisites for this workshop. This is a two-day virtual live workshop. Space is still available for all course dates listed, unless otherwise noted. Learning OutcomesBy the end of this virtual workshop, you will be able to:
