Competency-Based Approach for Data Use for Decision-Making

Global Financing Facility - World Bank Group

About

This Toolkit outlines the Global Financing Facility’s approach to strengthening competencies for using data and evidence to inform decision-making.

It provides practical tools for assessing countries’ data use competency needs and designing learning strategies in response. It addresses both the knowledge and skills needed to compile, analyze, and use data and the organizational attitudes that will motivate and inspire teams to actively use data as part of their daily practice.

My role

Framework & Toolkit Design

I worked alongside data and results specialists to design the GFF competency framework approach for data use for decision-making that conceptualizes how competencies can be applied to specific technical domains.

This framework includes sample tools and resources to assess and address data use competency needs. Specifically, the Toolkit is intended to enable countries to identify competency gaps on data use to deliver RMNCAH-N outcomes; provide a structured and sustainable approach to data use competency building; and share methodologies, learning approaches, and resources for data use competency building.

Broader Data Use Learning Package

This Toolkit is also part of a broader learning package for data use which provides concrete guidance, tools, and other resources to promote strategic engagement in data and evidence use for decision-making in RMNCAH-N policy and programming.
