1. Objective

• Ensure timely, accurate, and standardized marketing data
• Reduce staff workload and eliminate repetitive tasks
• Provide leadership and program teams with real-time marketing insights
• Strengthen data use for adaptive marketing and content planning
• Improve alignment with MEL frameworks and organizational impact goals
