Data Processing, Analytics and Reporting
All completes are validated and edited to before being sent for data processing. The data is entered into the required format, coded and tabulated. The tabulated data is then charted with the insights into a presentation ready for executive briefing.
Online reporting is also used in most cases. However, the focus of online reporting is primarily to keep track of the progress of the program and to have a basic understanding of whether the responses are meeting the objective as planned.
