Resettlement organizations often invest substantial time and effort into data collection. Whether the data you collect is required by a funder or simply of interest to your team, you can maximize its value by analyzing it and crafting effective stories from it for a variety of audiences.
Rather than providing in-depth descriptions of analysis methods, this intermediate-level toolkit emphasizes strategies and approaches to help guide you as you work to translate your data into effective stories and conclusions. While the examples in this toolkit focus on using data to communicate the success of programming, you can apply the tools and ideas presented in this toolkit to data from a needs assessment, a process evaluation, or intake processes to make improvements, advocate for funding, or gather community support. The toolkit is intended for resettlement staff whose roles include tasks related to analyzing, visualizing, or communicating data.
