What this service covers

• Definition of KPIs and indicators with clear formulas and sources
• Targets versus actuals, progress bars and traffic-light status
• Breakdowns by project, location, gender, partner or period
• Trend views across months and quarters
• Data entry templates that feed the dashboard
• Donor and management report views
• Built in Power BI, Tableau or Excel, depending on your tools

Choosing indicators that matter

A dashboard with fifty numbers helps nobody. We work with you to select a small set of indicators tied to your objectives, define each precisely, and decide how it is measured and how often. A clear definition prevents disputes later about what a figure means.

From field data to dashboard

Data often arrives in many spreadsheets or forms. We set up a simple, consistent collection template or connect to your survey tool, clean the incoming data and load it into the dashboard automatically where possible. Our data cleaning and preparation service handles messy sources.

Reporting to donors and managers

Different audiences need different views. A manager wants exceptions and trends; a donor wants indicators against logframe targets. We build views for each and link them to the same underlying data so numbers always agree. For deeper evaluation evidence, see programme evaluation data analysis.

Tools

We build in Power BI, Tableau or Excel depending on budget and skills, and document the set-up in data modelling and integration notes.
