Data Management, Quality Assurance & Analysis – The Actuarial Core
Lead the field-level data lifecycle: overseeing timely collection, stringent verification, cleaning, and statistical analysis of project performance data.
Establish and Manage Participant Record: Establish and maintain a complete, census-based, individual-level record of every person receiving Work-Enabling Support to qualify for Work-Enabling Support (WEO) . Every individual must have a unique reference number that stays with them to record repeat support without double-counting.
Minimum System Compliance: Ensure your system meets FRP individual registration and longitudinal tracking, duplicate prevention, multiple support records per person, consent management, traceability/auditability, mobile/web offline capture, validation rules, and GMS export.
Establish, secure, and maintain up-to-date project databases, Management Information Systems (MIS), and data visualization dashboards (Power BI / Excel / Kobo / CommCare).
