Spotlight on Data-Based Activity
Throughout the entire Operation there was a continuous effort to collect data and formulate a broad picture of the number of children and youth at the evacuation centers (by hotels and schools), the number of activities at the Operation’s Shachar centers, and the number of emotional therapy sessions administered at the centers in Eilat and the Dead Sea area. In the first weeks of the Operation, a dedicated information system was set up and programmed, based on the Monday platform, with necessary alterations and adjustments. The information obtained from data processing and analysis served for: • Continuous audit of target achievement, and target adjustment for real conditions on the ground and evolving needs • Updating all partners throughout the Operation • Internal learning processes
“At the Operation’s launch, it was clear to us that a designated team with exceptional performance and execution abilities would be needed. Such a team was hired swiftly and swung into rapid, intensive action. At that time, we did our utmost to support activity in the field using the Organization’s tools, know-how, and skills. We achieved this by characterizing the Operation in the initial planning stages, documenting the Operation from the outset and throughout, speedily integrating designated evaluation tools such as a ‘short- cycle assessment’ of issues raised by the Operation Director, and developing knowledge products based on the Operation’s activity. These procedures helped the Operation Team in the Operation’s immediate and intermediate term planning, and now serve us to help evaluate the Operation’s impact and formulate a long-term joint process.”
