Capacity-development for data-driven decision-making


To promote a sustainable data-driven culture in Rwanda and beyond, Cenfri is working to strengthen and promote the use of data and insights by policymakers and businesses. Our activities include:

  • Training and skills development for evidence-informed policymaking
  • The identification of currently and potentially available data sources and the assessment of training needs
  • Institutional capacity development including data governance and data strategy support
  • Placement of data interns in select public-sector institutions (and capacity-development for these interns)
