Training held on Data Collection for members of Youth Parliament Pakistan

Islamabad: Cavish Development Foundation facilitated a three-day training workshop on Data Collection for members of Youth Parliament of Pakistan (YPP) & staff of the British Council, recently.

Supported by the British Council, YPP is working with more than two thousand members across 10 districts of the country. It was formed by famous singer Abrar-ul-Haq.

British Council, being strong supporter of YPP, hired services of the Cavish to conduct a “training needs assessment” exercise of the members of YPP in order to develop a long term capacity building program for YPP. This training was part of the TNA exercise through which Cavish had to train YPP’s research teams in “data collection for TNA”.

During the training, Cavish facilitators conducted various exercises to assess training needs of the participants. Later, they were apprised with contemporary concepts on research and data collection, understanding of training needs assessment frameworks and tool designed for this particular exercise. In all, twenty three people participated in this workshop including nineteen members of the YPP belonging to ten districts of Pakistan and the AJK. The trained members would now collect data in ten districts for the TNA. In the next phase, Cavish is preparing to hold a two-day workshop on Data analysis for the YPP.
