Training Materials
Data4HumanRights training materials are open-source and tailored to limited resource settings in which community data collectors often live and work. Each training module is designed to be delivered in a face-to-face format in less than one day by a local trainer.
The training modules linked below are designed to be mixed and matched, and cover a range of methods and tools that are useful to human rights work; for example, documenting evictions, performing rapid needs assessments after acute crises, community profiling, and monitoring community development indicators. Each linked module includes:
Trainer instructions
Short slide deck
Tutorial video(s)
2-page handout in English, Yoruba, and (Nigerian) Pidgin
If your team desires other language translations and are able to arrange for the translation, we can provide editable (Google Doc) versions and upload your translated versions to this website. Just email us (data4humanrights-itc@utwente.nl) or message us on Twitter (@Data4HumanRight).
