Understanding the current state and sustainability of Data Hubs in North East Nigeria

In Nigeria, many initiatives have attempted to improve data on learners, educators, school infrastructure and facilities. Data Hubs were established across different states to ensure a systematic, reliable and regular collection of quality data that can be accessed and used for education planning and response to crisis. These hubs are office spaces equipped with the appropriate technology, competent staff, and clear guidelines concerning data collection from learning centres and the provision of accessible data and feedback on data to users and providers respectively.

This request seeks to inform decision-making within the Education Can’t Wait (ECW) operations in Nigeria, and broader government/development partner engagement on education data management systems, by understanding whether and how the Data Hubs increase coherence of and access to data, at what cost, and with what impact.
