A decade of field data, with untapped potential to better inform decisions and demonstrate impact. 📈 That was the analytical gap Tsavo Trust, an organisation working in partnership with Kenya Wildlife Service and Wildlife Research and Training Institute to protect and monitor Kenya’s largest wildlife landscape, set out to address as it developed its 2023–2027 strategic plan and formalised a new Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning function. 🐘 A decade of aerial patrols, ground monitoring, and human-wildlife conflict records had been collected with discipline. But the systems to turn that evidence into decisions, donor reporting, and adaptive management hadn't yet been built. It's a situation many mission-driven organisations will recognise. Data accumulates faster than the capacity to interrogate it, and the gap between having evidence and using evidence quietly widens. Through #Visium4Good, our pro bono programme dedicated to organisations creating measurable positive change, our team partnered with Tsavo Trust over several months to close that gap. The work focused on three things: - Designing an analytics foundation aligned with their MEL framework, so the data could finally answer the questions leadership was asking. - Delivering targeted use cases on the highest-value programmes, including human-elephant conflict mitigation in the Kamungi Conservancy. - Building internal capability through hands-on mentorship, so the Tsavo Trust team can extend the work long after our engagement ends. If any of this resonates with the work you're doing, we'd be glad to hear about it. Visium4Good was built for partnerships like this one, and we're always open to a conversation.
