CHERD-Africa understands the essence of modern data management in the context of efficient healthcare delivery and research purposes. Data management in the past has focused on paper-based medical records. In many healthcare institutions, patient records are increasingly occupying spaces that can be used to support patient care. The challenges, such as difficulty in locating patient folders, coupled with the fact that medical staff have to use productive hours to search for folders, require a second look. Technology is therefore required for easy access to previous patient charts in a bid to ensure continual care and access to the patient’s medical history in case of emergencies. Also, credible data is required for safe and secure storage for quality health care delivery and research purposes. In this current age, there is a paradigm shift toward the use of electronic media using modern techniques such as Oracle, InForm, REDCap, and mySQL for data storage.
At CHERD Africa, we specialise in delivering comprehensive grant writing services tailored to support projects. Our expertise ensures that your grant applications are meticulously crafted to maximise your chances of securing the necessary funding. We conduct targeted grant research to identify the most relevant opportunities, develop customised proposals that compellingly communicate your project’s impact, and create clear, realistic budgets that meet grantor guidelines. Additionally, we provide professional review and editing to enhance the quality and competitiveness of your proposals, and we offer ongoing support and reporting post-award to ensure compliance and accurate reporting to grantors.
CHERD-Africa understands the value of monitoring and evaluation in the conduct of projects. Our experts use different techniques (Qualitative and Quantitative approaches) for evaluating projects. Our team is experienced in supporting institutions and their beneficiaries to plan and execute program accountability, measure impacts and adopt best practices and insights to improve program effectiveness. We offer our clients a wide range of M&E operations including but not limited to developing meaningful and measurable indicators for projects, developing and deploying performance monitoring systems, performance and impact assessments.
We apply modern analytical tools such as SARS, Stata, and R software to conduct high quality data analysis for our clients. At CHERD-Africa, we design and implement quality control, data cleaning, data validation, integrity checking, and robust data security systems and procedures for existing and new data to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data. Data analysis in health systems research, such as tests of associations, binomial, and Multinomial logistic regression, and geospatial analysis, is done. Business analysis, such as developing business models and business data analysis using moderation and mediation analytical skills, and qualitative data analysis are done through focus coding with grounded theory using NVIVO software. The data analysis department is led by Isaac Nyanor, an experienced data analyst with a track record of managing international research data in ground breaking clinical studies such as the Multiple Micronutrient Studies by the University of Utah, Sickle Pan African Research, among others.
