Program
Data Storytelling for Development Professionals
Translate complex evidence into clear, compelling narratives that move funders, policymakers, and communities toward action.
The gap we close
Most development organizations produce far more evidence than they ever successfully communicate. Reports go unread, dashboards go unused, and decisions get made on intuition instead of data. This program trains practitioners to bridge that gap — turning analysis into stories that change minds and unlock resources.
What you will practice
Audience analysis, narrative structure for data-driven arguments, chart design and visual hierarchy, accessible writing for non-technical readers, and presentation craft for high-stakes settings — from board rooms to community forums. Every session is built around real artifacts from your own work.
Format and outcomes
A focused four-week cohort with weekly live workshops, peer critique, and one-on-one coaching. Graduates leave with a portfolio of three publication-ready data stories and a repeatable workflow they can apply to every brief, report, and pitch that follows.
