Kinara for Youth Evolution is working with CIVICUS DataShift to learn about the process to collect data on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16, Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, specifically measuring inclusive and responsive decision-making (SDG indicator 16.7.2) using a participatory workshop approach. We are writing a series of blogs for CIVICUS regarding our experience of running this workshop with various community action groups that we work with here in Morogoro, Tanzania, including youth and mothers groups. We strongly believe in the power of this approach to generate valuable contextual data, to build their confidence, active listening, and data research skills, and to inspire solutions of small local actions that they can act on themselves without outside help.
