Welcome to the 'Analytical Frameworks in DEEP' training page.

Analytical frameworks are structured approaches used to systematically break down, examine, and interpret data, providing a consistent methodology for analyzing complex information. In humanitarian contexts, these frameworks are crucial for assessing needs, planning interventions, and evaluating outcomes. They enable organizations to understand the scope and scale of crises, identify vulnerable populations, and allocate resources effectively. By applying needs assessment, response analysis, and monitoring and evaluation frameworks, humanitarian efforts become evidence-based and targeted, enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of aid delivery and ensuring that responses are appropriate, timely, and impactful. The Data Entry and Exploration Platform (DEEP) integrates these frameworks, empowering over 5,800 users across 90 countries to manage, analyze, and collaborate on data seamlessly. This cutting-edge web-based tool enhances collective sense-making and analysis, promotes transparency, minimizes duplication of efforts, and supports informed humanitarian decision-making.
Throughout this course, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of humanitarian analysis and analytical frameworks, with a particular emphasis on the DEEP Generic NLP Enabled Analysis Framework, widely utilized by various humanitarian partners in DEEP. Participants will learn the detailed process of creating an analytical framework, enabling them to modify and refine a framework tailored to their specific study requirements. Additionally, they will gain hands-on experience with data tagging according to an analytical framework in DEEP and learn how to develop a framework from the ground up using the platform. This course will be invaluable for enhancing participants' skills in conducting robust and effective humanitarian analyses, ultimately supporting more informed decision-making in their work.
Join the Analytical Frameworks in The Data Entry and Exploration Platform (DEEP) course to master the creation and utilization of analytical frameworks within DEEP. This course will empower you to build, modify, and apply analytical frameworks tailored to your specific needs, ensuring more insightful and impactful analyses. Additionally, it will deepen your understanding of humanitarian analysis, equipping you to address complex challenges with greater precision and clarity.
