From fieldwork to estimating an effect: the three programmes that turn data into evidence.

Data Analyst

Data analysts are among the most sought-after profiles today, in Burkina Faso as elsewhere. Organisations produce considerable volumes of data, and very few people know how to turn them into information on which management can actually base decisions.

Data Scientist

Where the analyst describes what happened and why, the data scientist builds models that anticipate what will happen and automate a decision. Predicting school dropout, estimating the risk of payment default, segmenting customers, detecting fraud, automatically classifying thousands of open-ended answers: these are tasks that belong to this profession.
