Project Overview and Role:

Palladium is a consortium member of the USAID funded Data for Impact (D4I) Project. The D4I mission is to support countries to realize the power of data as evidence that can improve programs, policies, and outcomes. The D4I strengthens the technical and organizational capacity of local partners to collect, analyze, and use data to support their move to self-reliance. https://www.data4impactproject.org

Within the activities of the project in the Republic of Moldova “Harnessing the Power of Data for the Benefit of the Child”, D4I supports the National Social Assistance Agency (NSAA), https://www.anas.md/, to increase its monitoring and evaluation capacity and strengthen decision-making generated through the appropriate use of available data sources and generation of new data via innovative, rigorous, and efficient methods, approaches and tools. USAID D4I project provides technical assistance to strengthen the country’s social workforce data to effectively respond to current and emerging chid protection issues, and improve overall social outcomes of the Moldovan people. Some of the underlying factors contributing to these child protection challenges include not having the ability to produce human resources (HR) indicators due to limited completeness and quality of HR data, and limited capacity of key stakeholders to use HR and other child protection systems data for evidence-informed decision-making; inadequate in-service training data and continuing professional development; and limited performance management and support.

In the scope of this work, Palladium, through the D4I project, will support NSAA to elicit requirements with key stakeholders and develop analysis documentation to develop a human resources information system (HRIS) that includes a training management information module. Particularly, D4I will support NSAA in eliciting requirements to digitize workflows and improve data collection and management related to staff training, staff turnover among social assistants and specialists in child protection, and municipalities that employ specialists in child rights protection.
