Intellishore Signature Experience with the Africa Advocacy Foundation ๐
At Intellishore, we have set out to help not-for-profit organizations by providing not only our time but also our skills and expertise in connecting data and people. We call this the Intellishore Signature Experience ๐๐ผ
In 2024, our three Intellishorians, Liv, Caroline, and Daniel, have supported the Africa Advocacy Foundation with the revamping of their PowerBI reporting ๐๐ผ Below, Liv Hyllinge has written about the purpose of the project and how it turned out:
Africa Advocacy Foundation collaborates with partner organizations across Europe to address health inequalities through working with PrEP awareness, HIV education, testing, treatment rights, and policy. Their important work requires funding, and in order to secure this, they must show how their work makes a difference.
Therefore, the data their partner organizations collect in testing facilities out in the field is showcased through a PowerBI report. As the volume of the data collected is significant, and there are many interesting correlations to show, we needed a bit more structure.
Our project was to help revamp their PowerBI report to make it structured, clear, and informative. In doing this, we hoped to help with:
- Increasing funding opportunities through the new report, which is showcased on their website and at conferences
- Enhance awareness (PrEP, HIV education, education about testing and healthcare rights)
- Policy influence (if we can show the data of migrantsโ barriers to health care and similar tendencies, that might influence national and regional health care policies)
Considering these, we managed to squeeze the report down to just six pages, increasing the user-friendliness and clarity of the visualizations with a clear and recurring structure throughout the report. To include all interesting metrics, we utilized parameters in PowerBI, allowing us to show more than one metric in each visualization.
We received a letter of thanks from Denis Onyango, the Programmes Director of the Africa Advocacy Foundation. Hereโs a snippet of what he had to say:
โThe insights that we have gained from the PowerBI report are already making a significant difference in our work, and we are confident that this will continue to benefit our projects in the future. [โฆ] Working with [The Intellishore Team] has been a pleasure due to the clear communication and mutual respect evident throughout the process. We genuinely appreciate the support we have received and remain grateful for the experience of partnering with a genuinely wonderful companyโ.
I can only echo what Denis said, as it was a great experience to collaborate with the Africa Advocacy Foundation on such an impactful project, and it was a pleasure to work with Anne and Hala on the development. You can check out their work here: https://lnkd.in/ecMWrUEE
