Case Study Report: Localizing User Engagement and Data Utilization Post-Census

This summary report has been prepared by Castelline Tilus (SDSN), Stephanie Pietras (SDSN), Theodore Joloza (UK ONS), Jean Luc Kabera (NISR), Andrew Ndahiro (RCSP), Maryam Rabiee (SDSN), and Alyson Marks (SDSN). We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our partners from the Rwanda Civil Society Platform (RCSP), the UK Office for National Statistics (UK ONS), and the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) for co-organizing the workshops. This work was made possible through funding from the German Corporation for International Cooperation (GIZ).

As part of the ongoing efforts within the Data for Now initiative, this case study report summarizes the results and impact of the five half-day workshops that were organized December 13–14, 2022 (Nyarugenge and Bugesera Districts), and August 16–18, 2023 (Nyamagabe, Musanze, and Karongi Districts). The insights shared within this report build on the collective expertise of implementing partners SDSN TReNDS, UK ONS, NISR, and RCSP.
