Our Understanding of CD’s Requirement:

Community Development (CD) is a division of Qatar Foundation responsible for building an engaged and
empowered community in Qatar.

It is spread across Qatar as 4 directorates and 11 centers

It works to preserve

 Arabic culture and heritage


 Cultivate life-long learning
 Promote an ethical society

They are responsible for Implementation of Programs & Services such as

 Recreation and sports,


 Literacy development,
 Concerts,
 Technical skills building,
 Art exhibitions and
 Sustainability learning conferences
 Others…

CD is responsible for facilitating and conducting events and manages them through various channels and
ensures Data Collection is done managed effective for continuous change and continuous improvement of
these programs as they graduate further.

The Data captured is used to understand performance, assess contributions to community development, study
the geographic and demographic segmentation by various categories such as users, age, gender, others
preferences etc. and help in assessing our overall effectiveness and impact.

Problems:

Gaps in Data collection and Reporting:

 CD directorates and centres each have varied tools, systems, and approaches to collecting and
reporting out on their program and events data.
 Much of this is fragmented and not underpinned by a shared dataset.
 For the most part, CD centres and directorates rely on spreadsheets, word documents, PowerPoints
and web-based data management software to store and manage their information.

This presents several concerns:

 Challenges to data integrity,


 Inefficiencies with how data is collected and consolidated
 Inconsistent reporting due to data aggregation

To help address this gap and the current inconsistencies, QF is seeking a new platform / portal and approach to
centralize their data collection and reporting effort and shall adhere to the below scope of work requirements.

Scope of work:
 Refresh initial review/survey conducted of existing data collection tools and systems for centres
and directorates. (This applies only to select centres that have made updates to their tools and
systems since the initial scoping exercise.)

BCT’s Inference: Provide a presentation layer (Omni Channel Capability) to capture and save date
from either a registration process or a feedback process; which is conducted before or after the
commencement / end of the event / program or a service that is being offered by QF or its
subsidy.

 Migrate existing data without any significant data cleaning.

BCT’s Inference: Migration of Data does not include any cleansing of data and it is only parity
migration which is point to point.

 What is the size of Data that has to be migrated?


 Is the migration expected from a single source or there are many?
 In case if there are many sources; How many?

 Assess existing systems and software across CD that can feed into QF’s data warehouse. This data
will be owned by CD.

BCT’s Inference: Provision to be made for QF’s internal systems to be part of the proposed
analytical services for data augmentation and referencing.

 How many QF systems / data sources are expected to be integrated?


 Is it also expected to consider external systems in the integration to the portal for analysis?
 If yes; How many systems?
 What are the social media platforms expected to be integrated for gathering real time
feedback from the market sources?
 Is the expected integration to be made available through a POINT to POINT Web API
(CUSTOM) layer? Or some central component is expected to offer canonical hierarchy
(GENERALIZATION) to the overall design?

 Assess options for inputting data either through input screens created through MS PowerAPPs or
other technologies that are current and effective. CD will have a Datamart within our DWH that

BCT’s Inference: BCT would provide Input screens for Registration and Feedback screens; as part
of data acquisition templates on the proposed portal and these would be designed and
standardized for the given set of data in the annexures. These can be configurable. However any
new data field or rule required shall have be routed through change request.

Note: No Data Ware integration is proposed, the required data from the portal system shall be
taken by the DWH team as per their standards as the DB source will be on prim to populate the
marts as per the business requirements.

 Create reporting options/dashboards.

BCT’s Inference: A predefined set of reports and dashboards would be provisioned in the
proposal (Eg: 20 reports and 10 dashboards). However the business requirements would have to
be taken as part of the Requirement analysis phase.

 CD Centres and Directorates will each have newly development and written business processes to
ensure consistency in data collection and reporting efforts.
BCT’s Inference: A single system for all entities (Centres and Directorates and other stake holders)
to ensure standardization.

 Conduct orientation/training for users.

BCT’s Inference: Training would be provided as part of the UAT and Handover process of the
portal.

Business Requirements:

Improved program management and decision making (BR1)

The Data that is captured through the Program or Service is expected to provide the following outcome;

 Assess the impact & effectiveness of the program or service on the community by asking important
questions about the program design, participation, approach and methods of the events with better
frequency of contact.
 Offer insights to the sponsors (Ministry partners, Donors, Internal QF and CD staff and leaders) with
meaningful data for making critical decision in helping them with required adjustments and
improvements for the programs and events.
 The digital enablement shall Increase the reliability and integrity of our program data for effective
decision making with better automation offers to identify trends dynamically instead of wait for
longer periods to access reports.
Streamline data collection and aggregation (BR2)

The proposed portal shall have the ability for collection and aggregation of Data would be done using the
proposed portal screens only. These screens will collect personal, event, social media and registration
information. The fields of data to be collected is mentioned in the Appendix of the SOW would form the basis
of data that has to be collected.

Track and monitor outputs (BR3)

There will be provision in the portal for performing analytics on data captured from key event, program and
participant outputs across a consistent set of data fields and KPIs. This includes demographic data e.g., age,
gender, geography, etc. The details of the KPIs and Metrics that needs to be tracked and monitored at a given
interval for a given period of time and frequency would be decided during the requirement phase.

Track progress and trends across place and time (BR4)

There will be provision in the portal for tacking and reviewing progress and trends across place and time using
visual dashboards and infographics to recognize trends, gaps, progress and achievement of annual KPIs and
program/event participation data.
Proposed Solution:
