This training cycle was made thanks to the support of the Crisis and Support Centre of the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs (CDCS). This cycle is associated with the “Strenghtening the program data management of Francophone CSOs” project led by CartONG and co-financed in large part by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD).

It was delivered (in French and English) during an inter-NGO remote training in autumn 2023 for 12 humanitarian NGOs and 236 of their staff, mainly MEALs or field IMs (in 5 webinars of 2h30).

Its objectives were to convey :

• Why responsible data practices are essential to their work,
• A good understanding of data protection and responsible data principles applied to program data,
• The do’s and don’ts to protect data along all the steps of the data cycle, as well as the key resources and tools you can use,
• An overview of the current stakes and how they apply to their organisation.

The training material is divided into 4 parts, which you can view in each section below :
