Data Services for NGOs and UN Organizations

We know that working in development and humanitarian contexts isn’t just a job. It’s a mission. But behind every life changed and every community reached, there's a growing need to understand, communicate, and improve your impact. That’s where data comes in, but it doesn’t always come easy.

Whether you’re:

  • Juggling complex donor requirements with a small team,

  • Trying to make sense of raw data to guide your programs,

  • Collecting data in hard-to-reach or rapidly changing environments,

  • Lacking in-house data expertise but needing clear insights,

  • Or striving to show long-term impact beyond immediate outputs

You’re not alone.

At Nakama Analytics, we partner with NGOs and UN teams like yours to turn data from a burden into a tool for learning, storytelling, and strategy. We speak the language of development, and we work alongside you to ensure your data works for you—supporting your goals, not adding to your stress.

Our Specialized Services for NGOs and UN Organizations

  • Data Collection

    Why It Matters
    In many development settings, collecting donor-compliant, high-quality data can take valuable time and resources away from program delivery. But without it, showing your impact—and securing future support—becomes harder. You shouldn’t have to choose between implementation and accountability.

    Our Approach
    We design and implement practical, field-ready data systems for multi-country programs, even in the most complex or remote settings. Our methods are rigorous where they need to be—and flexible where they must be—always grounded in the real-world conditions you work in.

    Your Benefit
    You get lean, effective data systems that meet donor standards without becoming a burden. No unnecessary complexity, no endless forms. Just the right data, captured the right way. Your team stays focused on what they do best: running programs, not managing spreadsheets.

  • Data Analysis

    Why It Matters
    The gap between raw data and actionable insights often requires specialized expertise that many NGOs cannot maintain in-house. Our analytical services transform your program data into clear, actionable intelligence.

    Our Approach
    We provide analytical support built specifically for development work—whether your data comes from surveys, interviews, field reports, or spreadsheets. Our services include:
    • Descriptive Analytics – Making sense of complex datasets through clean summaries, trends, and visuals
    • Qualitative Analysis – Drawing insights from interviews, open-ended surveys, and stories from the field
    • Document Mining – Finding patterns across reports, proposals, and internal documentation
    • Geospatial Analysis – Mapping your data to uncover spatial trends and opportunities

    Your Benefit
    You get more than charts and numbers: you get clarity. Our work helps you understand what’s working, what’s not, and where to go next, without needing to hire a full data team. It turns data into a strategic asset, not just a reporting requirement.

  • Data Dashboard & Visualization

    Why It Matters
    Development programs generate a lot of data, but turning that into something everyone can understand is another challenge entirely. From donors and board members to field staff and community partners, stakeholders bring different levels of data literacy. Making the message clear for all is essential.

    Our Approach
    We design dashboards that are intuitive, accessible, and tailored to the realities of development work. Built for non-technical users, our dashboards let teams explore and interpret data independently without needing to decode jargon or rely on analysts. Every visualization is designed with sector-specific indicators in mind, so your data tells the right story to the right people.

    Your Benefit
    Transform complex data into accessible visual formats that support both reporting and decision-making. Our dashboards become powerful tools for advocacy, donor engagement, and internal learning.

  • Data Reporting

    Why It Matters
    Reporting to donors is non-negotiable. But for many organizations, it pulls time and attention away from implementation. Crafting reports that are both accurate and meaningful takes more than just data; it takes time, strategy, and clarity.

    Our Approach
    We support evidence-based reporting by aggregating data across projects, surfacing key insights, and framing results in a way that speaks to both compliance and impact. The result is reporting that meets donor expectations while telling a credible, compelling story of your work.

    Your Benefit
    Our support frees up your team’s time while raising the quality of what gets shared. The result: reports that not only meet requirements, but also deepen trust with donors and position your organization as serious about learning and impact.

  • Data Training

    Why It Matters
    Strong internal data capacity is key to long-term impact. But in reality, staff come with different levels of data confidence, and limited time to learn. Supporting skill growth in a way that respects those constraints is essential for sustainability.

    Our Approach
    We build capacity through hands-on, tailored support:

    - Data Literacy Training: Tailored to different organizational roles and existing skill levels

    - Data Governance Workshops: Helping teams define clear protocols for managing and safeguarding data

    - Analytics Coaching: Practical, ongoing guidance to build confidence in using data day to day

    Your Benefit
    Empower your team to manage, interpret, and act on data independently. Our capacity-building approach strengthens decision-making across the organization, reducing reliance on external help and embedding data as a lasting part of your culture, not just a short-term fix.
