Data Analytics & Business Intelligence

Course Overview

Data analytics and business intelligence are now essential skills for modern institutions, businesses, governments, startups, and development organizations. This practical CRIBI Academy course introduces participants to the tools, thinking, and workflows needed to turn raw data into useful insights, dashboards, reports, and evidence-based decisions. Participants will learn how to clean, organize, analyze, interpret, and present data in ways that support planning, monitoring, evaluation, operations, business strategy, and institutional performance. The course emphasizes practical analytics rather than theory alone, helping participants build dashboards, visual summaries, and decision-ready reports. The course also introduces AI-assisted analytics, allowing participants to use modern AI tools to summarize datasets, identify trends, generate insights, support report writing, and improve data storytelling. By the end of the training, participants will be able to use data more confidently for decision-making, communication, reporting, and performance improvement.
