This will be achieved by conducting a needs assessment and building networks and partnerships to develop and implement a data management system. An evaluation will be conducted to measure the performance of VNFC’s programs and services. This project will work collaboratively with Ursa Creative and the University of Victoria to develop, build, train, and implement a data system that will best fit the needs of clients, staff, and the organization.
