Welcome to the third episode of RD4C Bites, our ongoing series of short video interviews in which we highlight lessons and experience from data-focused practitioners on the responsible handling of data of and for children.

In this episode our team interviews Nayana Das, director of research at IMPACT Initiatives, a Geneva think-and-do tank, to hear more about data-driven decision making and knowledge tools in humanitarian settings.

In the video above, Nayana discusses the types of data IMPACT Initiatives handles, the enablers and challenges to responsible data practice, as well as ongoing future efforts to continue to support responsible use of data of and for children.

Key Takeaways:

  • Varying levels of data literacy within the sector can present challenges to managing and interpreting data responsibly.

  • Collaborations and partnerships can provide useful and necessary context when designing and implementing data-driven projects.

  • Inclusivity during data-collection can be improved not only by the direct collection of data from populations of concern but also via key partnerships.
