Project name: Northern Education Initiative Plus (NEI+) We contributed to the Northern Education Initiative Plus (NEI+), a USAID-funded project aiming to improve access to quality education and reading skills for over a million children in underserved communities (girls, orphans, and those in non-traditional schools) across Bauchi and Sokoto states in Nigeria. This was achieved through concise research on existing assessments and data collection methods, ensuring the project leveraged best practices. We also programmed the data collection tool to be compatible with data analysis software, streamlining the process. We efficiently managed the data coming in daily from a large team of interviewers spread across three states. By collaborating on daily data analysis, we prevented backlogs. Finally, we analyzed qualitative data to identify key themes that informed the project’s overall findings.
