About the Event
In complex development programs, large-scale data collection does not guarantee timely or actionable decisions. With growing use of AI in evaluation, the challenge is building trust in evidence without sidelining human judgment and over-reliance on automation. This session explores a practical case from Bangladesh’s Transforming Lives Through Nutrition (TLTN) program. We examine a field-to-dashboard MERL workflow that integrates digital data capture, structured quality assurance, service coverage mapping, and transparent governance to ensure data leads to trusted, human-led insights.
