Indicators - From project-level to strategic reporting in humanitarian and development settings
How can we ensure that the data collected at the project level effectively informs strategic decisions at the headquarters? A common challenge for many organizations is the disconnect between field-level activities and high-level strategic objectives.
In this Webinar, we will explore the complete journey of an indicator, from its inception in a project's logical framework to its aggregation and use in strategic reporting.
