The goal of the technical assistance is to provide support to the CSOs short-listed for the “Data for Accountable and Transparent Action” (DATA) program by:
- Conducting a series of training workshops to strengthen research quality and the policy relevance of research activities, with pointers on research-to-action planning and communication of research findings to key audiences.
- Developing a Problem Identification Checklist (PIC) to help determine the “advocacy potential” of issues of interest to CSOs.
Series of training were conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago, USA in partnership with The Urban Foundation of Sustainable Development, Armenia
