Report and document
We document your work’s process and progress with deft and diligence to be comprehensively and contextually reported to different stakeholders and for your own records.
Organisational reporting or project reporting refers to both the public reporting of the operations and financial utilisation and the regular provision of information to decision-makers within an organization to support them in their work. It is a fundamental part of the larger movement towards improved operational intelligence and knowledge management. Implementation often requires extraction, transformation, and distribution of information in coordination with a data management and then using one or more reporting tools. Reports can be distributed in print form, via email or accessed via internet and can also be used for verification and cross-checks.
Our procedures of documentation vary from one sector, or one theme, to another. In general, these may involve document drafting, formatting, submitting, reviewing, approving, distributing, reposting and tracking, etc., and are convened by associated SOPs of the regulating programme. Sometimes, we create content from scratch which is easy to read and understand. For producing documentation we involve technical writers and organisational communicators who are professionals of the field with excellent experience in documentation. We have a background in both the subject matter and also in writing and managing content (information architecture) which is defined to meet the user’s needs.
Data Collection & Reporting
The data gathered during research and implementation dictates the documentation process and the ultimate form of the written report. Any documentation, therefore, requires complete familiarity with the data gathered. When used in tandem, the techniques of data collection and of data analysis help marshal irrefutable and substantial information and we ensure that the information gathered is exhaustively considered. A report may have multiple purposes, and we advocate clear identification of yours. Reports may serve to educate readers about a cause, inform them of the project’s findings, make recommendations, and serve as a basis for an advocacy campaign.
Photo and Video Documentation
We take photos and videos of your projects and campaigns. The before & after images, depicting action are a great way to document and share the hard work of you and your partners. We collect photos and videos from beginning to the end of the projects for donor appreciation, constituent confidence, or simply for your own records.
Digital Reporting
The disruptive impact of digital technology will, naturally, affect the world of development reporting. The dispersal of information through social media platforms is only one part of a complex picture. At the core of our approach around digital reporting is what users want and need, which can be summarised in two words: comparability and specificity. Digital technology gives us the capability to compare structured data, with a programme-specific overlay.
Case Study and Testimonial Documentation
We use case studies to highlight constituents’ stories of the impact of the projects. A well written case study can powerfully convey the impacts of any project and establish your credibility. While reporting case studies we strengthen it by drawing on good research practices including the inquisitive questions, case selection, representation, reporting and ethics. We also apply the same approach while recording the testimonials of staff, supporters, partners and other enablers to well document the process and progress.
