One of the University of Gloucestershire’s ‘Essentials of Community Development’ (ECD) series.
High quality evidence is the foundation for good governance and management. But how do you get good quality evidence? A wide range of information currently exists collected at different scales for different purposes.
Being confident to go out and collect your own information (or commission others) as well as making effective use of it will strengthen your community development capabilities ensuring your organisation gets the right type of information that is fit for purpose – creating operational insights and identifying problems.
This course provides practical skills in collecting, understanding and using a wide range of community and local level information. You will learn how to collect relevant information (from primary and secondary sources), the common problems associated with secondary data, how various forms of information can be analysed and interpreted, and more importantly, how information can be utilised and presented to underpin resource and policy decisions.
