As the premier advocate for closing gender data gaps, Data2X has focused on documenting gaps and biases in global development data and creating partnerships to fill them. CNPS helped Data2X identify growth paths that leverage new opportunities created by the development data revolution, new data collection technologies, and the growing awareness of women’s role in achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs).
CNPS worked with AFF from 2009 through 2011. Our task was to develop a new path for AFF’s Tree Farm program and provide ongoing operational support during the transition to the new model. As part of this project, we participated in monthly management team meetings, monitored the rollout of new programs, and supported individual members of the management team as requested.
We worked with this Presbyterian seminary over two years, first to implement an inclusive strategy formation process that engaged all members of the SFTS community, and then to assist the School’s management team in implementation. We also designed a dashboard to help the President and Dean track progress against strategic goals and targets.
This international multi-stakeholder initiative hired CNPS to recommend an organizational structure and funding plan to support its rapidly growing organization and ambitious goals. We also advised the organization on operational and staffing issues, and helped to develop a business plan for the next three years.
Our first project with SFFI was to design and implement a “Call before you Cut” campaign to persuade private forest owners in six midwestern states to seek professional advice before harvesting trees. Next, we developed a website (www.engaginglandowners.org) and training program to help natural resource professionals engage with woodland owners. We continue to assist SFFI with program delivery and evaluation.
