Practical courses on MEL, AI, data and dashboards for development professionals. No Silicon Valley hype, no recycled theory — just tools and approaches that work in real programmes, with real budgets.
Every course starts from a real MEL challenge — a logframe that needs updating, a dataset that won't cooperate, a donor report due Friday. We teach tools in context, with honest limitations and realistic costs.
