As a Lead Data Assistant at HOPE Worldwide Kenya, I helped provide strategic coordination and oversight of all data management functions within the DREAMS program. My role focused on ensuring the collection, analysis, and reporting of high-quality data to inform evidence-based decision-making, strengthen program performance, and support continuous quality improvement across multiple sites. In this position, I helped coordinate a team of 16 Data Assistants and 16 Locum Data Assistants, serving as the main liaison between field teams, M&E officers, and program leadership. I spearheaded the digitization of 64 out of 73 program tools, a milestone that enhanced data accuracy, efficiency, and security. I developed and deployed digital data collection tools using KoboToolbox for new program areas, including Mental Wellness, HPV, and Tuberculosis interventions. As the Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) focal person, I coordinated initiatives that improved program layering outcomes from 72% to over 90% within a year. Additionally, I supported project framework and indicator development, contributing significantly to the Interpersonal Therapy for Groups (IPT-G) framework within the DREAMS logic model. I helped prepare comprehensive data reports for donors, partners, and government stakeholders, helped design Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and training manuals, and facilitated Data Quality Assessments (DQAs), using findings to inform training and mentorship activities. I also documented lessons learned and best practices to strengthen institutional learning and program efficiency. Among my key achievements, I successfully led the transition from paper-based to digital systems, significantly reducing data turnaround time and improving data integrity. I enhanced team performance through structured supervision, mentorship, and problem-solving, which resulted in more accurate and timely reporting. I also played an instrumental role in advancing CQI outcomes, optimizing M&E systems, and fostering innovation in community-based monitoring and evaluation practices. Through this role, I developed and applied strong skills in data management, analysis, and visualization (using Excel, Power BI, Python, and R), database handling (DHIS2, KenyaEMR, DREAMS database, CPMIS), M&E frameworks, and leadership and capacity building, ensuring data-driven decision-making remained central to program success.

As a Data Assistant at HOPE Worldwide, I played a key role in strengthening data management, reporting, and quality assurance systems within the DREAMS program. My work focused on maintaining accurate, reliable, and timely data to support program monitoring, evaluation, and evidence-based decision-making at both site and organizational levels. In this position, I conducted rigorous data entry, validation, cleaning, analysis and reporting to ensure the accuracy and completeness of information within program databases. I regularly analyzed data to generate insights that informed program performance reviews and decision-making. I maintained an organized and transparent filing system for both electronic and paper-based data, ensuring easy access and reference. I also developed and maintained the site’s program dashboard, improving visualization and understanding of performance indicators among program staff. As part of my commitment to data quality, I led quarterly Data Quality Assessments (DQAs) and collaborated with program teams to address identified gaps. Additionally, I participated in quality improvement initiatives, aligning data systems with M&E frameworks and ensuring consistent reporting to donors and stakeholders. Among my key achievements, I strengthened data accuracy and reporting timeliness across the site through meticulous validation and cleaning processes. I developed a reliable dashboard that enhanced program monitoring and performance tracking, and my efforts in coordinating DQAs contributed to measurable improvements in data integrity and program accountability. I also enhanced communication and coordination between the data and program teams, ensuring data-driven actions were integrated into site-level program implementation. Through this role, I honed my expertise in data management and analysis, data visualization tools such as Excel and Power BI, database systems including DHIS2 and KenyaEMR, and quality improvement methodologies. This experience built a strong foundation for my leadership in data systems and monitoring functions in subsequent roles.
