Hi, I work for an organization that focuses on social innovation to eradicate poverty. It collects mainly cross-sectional data but less often, time series and panel data for analysis to develop a theory of change. Knowing how to collect, manage, analyse and interpret this kind of data will be super helpful.
Are you looking to learn statistics?
Awareness of how data is use it is an extraordinarily great apparatus for the society and having make a greater impact , since it can perform as a means to determine their effect on the society.

Data science skills are very much needed.
Data programmer are in place here. However, I would love to learn how to use data software for statistical analysis.
Excel skills are already in place for data visualization but more knowledge is required in the area of GIS.
I agree that data science is very much needed nowadays, In fact i am a junior data scientist and data analyst.
I am a data scientist and data anlayst, I work a lot with Python and R. From my experiences, I agree that data science can be very needed in civil society field. If someone needs to learn, or Inquire about something I am here for help.

Which sites can one learn these?

Does your organization work with a data analyst or data scientist? What types of tasks do your data analysts and scientists do?
What would be the most helpful data science skills for you or your team to learn?
How has data science helped your organization
This is or will be a wonderful experience, my organization work with large data analyst to analyze their data for policy makers. Some of the helpful data science skills we hope to learn include data analytics, data mining, Artificial Intelligence, machine learning and data visualization. Data science has helped my organization in making inform decisions.
Greetings! I am working at MOMODa FOUNDATION, Dhaka, Bangladesh which is a research-based development organization. We conduct research, evaluation, project implementation, impact analysis, and related works such as project baseline, midline, and end-line evaluation. Data is one of the most important components for us. We conduct social research for social good. Data collection, data analysis, and data infographics are our regular tasks. The course would be very helpful for us. Thank you.
It will be very useful course if the university can be able to provide
I am interested to learn more about Data Science.
We welcome the development by Philanthropy University to include Data Science in its list of courses. We would like to include concepts of Data Science in running our organizations.
We are very much interested in the course. Our organization works with data
Data science is essential to most organizations in this modern society. I work as a development planner, monitoring and evaluation person for the local government organisation. I require the data analysis and visualization tools to make my work more effective. Adding the course to philanthrophy university would help build my capacity to be more effective in my organization.
