Project Overview
and Role:
Palladium is a consortium member of the USAID
funded Data for Impact (D4I) Project. The D4I mission is to support countries to realize the power of data as
evidence that can improve programs, policies, and outcomes. The D4I strengthens
the technical and organizational capacity of local partners to collect,
analyze, and use data to support their move to self-reliance. https://www.data4impactproject.org
Within the activities of the project in the Republic of Moldova
“Harnessing the Power of Data for the Benefit of the Child”, D4I supports the
National Social Assistance Agency (NSAA), https://www.anas.md/, to increase its monitoring and evaluation capacity and strengthen decision-making
generated through the appropriate use of available data sources and generation
of new data via innovative, rigorous, and efficient methods, approaches and
tools. USAID D4I project provides technical assistance to strengthen the country’s social
workforce data to effectively respond to current and emerging chid protection issues,
and improve overall social outcomes of the Moldovan people. Some of the underlying factors contributing to these child protection
challenges include not having the ability to produce human resources (HR) indicators
due to limited completeness and quality of HR data, and limited capacity of key
stakeholders to use HR and other child protection systems data for
evidence-informed decision-making; inadequate in-service training data and
continuing professional development; and limited performance management and
support.
In the scope of this work, Palladium, through the D4I
project, will support NSAA to elicit requirements with key stakeholders and develop
analysis documentation to develop a human resources information system (HRIS) that
includes a training management information module. Particularly, D4I will
support NSAA in eliciting requirements to digitize workflows and improve data
collection and management related to staff training, staff turnover among
social assistants and specialists in child protection, and municipalities that
employ specialists in child rights protection.
