Through interactive sessions with subject matter experts and peer exchange, participants will explore how data can be leveraged across assessment, continuous quality improvement (CQI), and evaluation to strengthen program design, implementation, and sustainability. You’ll also examine how data storytelling can support your program in communicating its purpose, successes, and needs to funders, partners, and participants.
