Title: Democratizing Performance Data Access Within SayPro Teams

Department: SayPro Monitoring and Evaluation Monitoring Office
Strategic Unit: SayPro Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Royalty
Timeline: Q2–Q3 2025
Category: Organizational Data Governance and Knowledge Access Initiative

1. Objective

To ensure timely, transparent, and equitable access to SayPro’s programmatic, operational, and outreach performance data across all internal teams—empowering staff at all levels to make data-informed decisions, enhance collaboration, and improve service delivery.

2. Strategic Rationale

Currently, performance data in SayPro is siloed across departments and platforms, with limited visibility outside of M&E or leadership teams. To foster a culture of data ownership, collaborative problem-solving, and real-time responsiveness, SayPro will:

Break down data silos and centralize access
Simplify complex datasets into actionable insights
Equip staff with tools and confidence to use data effectively
Promote transparency, accountability, and continuous learning

3. Key Components of the Initiative

A. Centralized Performance Data Hub

Launch of a secure, user-friendly SayPro Performance Dashboard Portal, accessible by all authorized staff.
Built on Power BI and Google Data Studio, linked with SayPro’s existing CRM, M&E platforms, and program management systems.

B. Role-Based Access Framework

Different levels of access tailored to job roles:
- Leadership View: Strategic overviews and organizational KPIs
- Program View: Outcome indicators, beneficiary data, implementation progress
- Marketing View: Engagement, campaign analytics, conversion insights
- Field/Community Staff View: Local project performance, community feedback, delivery metrics

C. Real-Time Data Sync and Reporting

Integration of live data sources (e.g., KoboToolbox, HubSpot, GA4, Twilio) to provide daily to weekly refresh rates for key indicators.
Automated push notifications for milestone thresholds or anomalies.
