Kent Refugee Action Network (KRAN) Project
PODIO data system development/improvement and scenario planning for Strategic Plan
Project:
To develop Kent Refugee Action Network (KRAN) PODIO data system to make it fit for purpose to capture and report their work, and to support the development of KRAN's strategic implementation plan given different scenario’s.
Project description:
To analyse, assess and develop KRAN's current PODIO system so that it is fit for purpose. The volunteer would also be required to host a half day of training for staff members for the new version. KRAN already have a list of requirements that the PODIO needs to be able to do and what the current challenges are of the existing system.
KRAN has a potentially rich source of data but the organisation do not have the mining capacity to draw out trends of, for example, the type of services used over time, the specific service demand by type of asylum seeker (age, gender, literacy, ARE risk). KRAN also wish to increase their reporting capacity to include impact over time, length of involvement, and to report on impacts by type of asylum seeker.
In addition to this, the volunteer would ideally take KRAN's new Strategic Plan and Impact Plan and work with the CEO, trustee’s and staff to develop an implementation plan given different scenarios (Political, economic, social etc) which are outside of KRAN’s control.
Time commitment: 6 days ( 3 days before December, 3 days January – March 2020)
Location: It is expected that the volunteer will attend a workshop on October 18th, to gather background information about KRAN, PODIO and the current issues. Work can be done remotely.
The new 5 year Strategic Plan is to be presented for approval at the AGM on the 12th December 2019.
Dates and times in early 2020 to explore scenario’s with Trustee’s and staff, and then with CEO to inform the development of the implementation plan of the new Strategic Plan will be agreed between the volunteer and KRAN.
