A study by Analytics for a Better World researchers Parvathy Krishnan and Joaquim Gromicho was published in The Lancet. The research, focused on improving equal access to COVID-19 testing in Nepal, found significant benefits of motorised transport. It increases access to testing facilities threefold compared to walking. The researchers also demonstrated how mathematical optimisation could enhance accessibility, particularly in vulnerable and mountainous regions. This work is pivotal for future health planning in resource-constrained settings. Read the full study via the link in the comments.

💡 ABW Café Series: Case study on data strategy - creating a roadmap to enhance data maturity in fundraising with Stijn Kuijpers, Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer at Cmotions! ☕ In this talk, Stijn will demonstrate how fundraising organizations can establish a comprehensive data strategy and roadmap to enhance their data maturity. This case study highlights how Cmotions assisted multiple international sections of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in benchmarking their data maturity levels and developing tailored data strategies for each section.
