The details
Data is one of the most powerful tools we have in our work to address child marriage. It helps us understand where and why child marriage happens, track progress, design more effective programmes and policies, and advocate for change.
With the end of the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) Program, the future of large-scale national data sets are at risk. While existing sources remain valuable, they also have limitations and many organisations need more timely, context-specific data to drive meaningful change. In this shifting landscape, it is critical to explore different sources of data, including that collected and used by our own organisations.
If you want to adapt to a changing data landscape and start thinking about how to work with alternative data sources, join us for the next session in our online Learning Series on:
