Thai foresters complete data literacy training to advocate for improved forest governance
Liwan Srisutayakhun from Chumphon Province’s Pa Rak Nam Network (Forest Loves Water Network) had never created data visualisations before. This is why she joined 11 other participants from Thailand’s civil society to complete East-West Management Institute’s (EWMI) data literacy training program from February to June 2020. By the end of the program, Liwan had developed her first data-driven presentation depicting land ownership rights in Bang Mak Sub-district.
EWMI’s data literacy training is adapted from the World Bank’s Data Literacy Certificate Program and can be tailored to the needs of different audiences. Regardless of the sector, all participants are trained in reading, understanding, and communicating with data and insights derived from it. This training in Thailand was tailored for participants from the forestry sector. They included representatives from Baan Non Toom Thaworn Community Forest, Self-organized Land Reform Network, Citizen Forest Network, Chiang Mai Community Organisation Council, Raks Thai Foundation, RECOFTC Thailand, and Western Community Radio Network.
