Using Data: Building Resilience to Shocks
This event is part of Agency Learning and Evidence Month from May 2–30, USAID’s flagship celebration of research, evaluation, and learning.
Relief International employs advanced Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) systems, integrating digital data collection, live dashboards, data visualization, and alert systems to respond swiftly to crises and adapt programs to emerging needs. Participants in this session will learn how these systems enable Relief International and can inform USAID’s and other cross-sectoral approaches to effectively address sudden shocks and enhance resilience at all levels.
- In Lebanon, Relief International’s alert system played a crucial role during a cholera outbreak, ensuring timely and accurate response.
- In Syria, data visualization identified health trends, enabling our organization to provide targeted support such as treating scabies cases and addressing anemia through community sessions.
- In Türkiye, these tools facilitated the rapid response to the 2023 earthquakes, overseeing operations across multiple locations effectively.
Through these systems, Relief International aims to enhance resilience and promote long-term health and well-being.
The conversation will be moderated by Relief International’s Chief Program Officer, Najia Hyder, and senior leaders from Relief International operations in Lebanon, Syria, and Türkiye.
