Advancing Universal Rights and Justice
Uprooting Fascisms and Fundamentalisms
Across the globe, feminist, women’s rights and gender justice defenders are challenging the agendas of fascist and fundamentalist actors. These oppressive forces target women, persons who are non-conforming in their gender identity, expression and/or sexual orientation, and other oppressed communities.
Discriminatory ideologies are undermining and co-opting our human rights systems and standards, with the aim of making rights the preserve of only certain groups. In the face of this, the Advancing Universal Rights and Justice (AURJ) initiative promotes the universality of rights - the foundational principle that human rights belong to everyone, no matter who they are, without exception.
We create space for feminist, women’s rights and gender justice movements and allies to recognize, strategize and take collective action to counter the influence and impact of anti-rights actors. We also seek to advance women’s rights and feminist frameworks, norms and proposals, and to protect and promote the universality of rights.
Our actions
Through this initiative, we:
- Build knowledge: We support feminist, women’s rights and gender justice movements by disseminating and popularizing knowledge and key messages about anti-rights actors, their strategies, and impact in the international human rights systems through AWID’s leadership role in the collaborative platform, the Observatory on the Universality of Rights (OURs)*.
- Advance feminist agendas: We ally ourselves with partners in international human rights spaces including, the Human Rights Council, the Commission on Population and Development, the Commission on the Status of Women and the UN General Assembly.
- Create and amplify alternatives: We engage with our members to ensure that international commitments, resolutions and norms reflect and are fed back into organizing in other spaces locally, nationally and regionally.
- Mobilize solidarity action: We take action alongside women human rights defenders (WHRDs) including trans and intersex defenders and young feminists, working to challenge fundamentalisms and fascisms and call attention to situations of risk.

Retention. We generally retain personal information to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, to establish or defend legal claims, or for fraud prevention purposes. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we may consider factors such as the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
When we no longer require the personal information we have collected about you, we may either delete it, anonymize it, or isolate it from further processing.

Notice to European Users
Where this Notice to European users applies. The information provided in this “Notice to European users” section applies only to individuals located in the EEA or the UK (EEA and UK jurisdictions are together referred to as “Europe”).
Personal information. References to “personal information” in this Privacy Policy should be understood to include a reference to “personal data” (as defined in the GDPR) – i.e., information about individuals from which they are either directly identified or can be identified. It does not include “anonymous data” (i.e., information where the identity of individual has been permanently removed). The personal information that we collect from you is identified and described in greater detail in the section “Personal information we collect”.
Controller. AWID is the controller in respect of the processing of your personal information covered by this Privacy Policy for purposes of European data protection legislation (i.e., the EU GDPR and the so-called ‘UK GDPR’ (as and where applicable, the “GDPR”)). See the How to contact us section above for our contact details.
Our legal bases for processing. In respect of each of the purposes for which we use your personal information, the GDPR requires us to ensure that we have a “legal basis” for that use.
Our legal bases for processing your personal information described in this Privacy Policy are listed below.
- Where we need to process your personal information to deliver our Services to you (including our Site) (“Contractual Necessity”).
- Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests (“Legitimate Interests”). More detail about the specific legitimate interests pursued in respect of each Purpose we use your personal information for is set out in the table below.
- Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation (“Compliance with Law”).
- Where we have your specific consent to carry out the processing for the Purpose in question (“Consent”).
We have set out below, in a table format, the legal bases we rely on in respect of the relevant Purposes for which we use your personal information – for more information on these Purposes and the data types involved, see How we use your personal information above.

Retention. We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, to establish or defend legal claims, or for compliance and protection purposes, unless specifically authorized to be retained longer.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
When we no longer require the personal information, we have collected about you, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. If we anonymize your personal information (so that it can no longer be associated with you), we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
Other information
No obligation to provide personal information. You do not have to provide personal information to us. However, where we need to process your personal information either to comply with applicable law or to deliver our Services to you, and you fail to provide that personal information when requested, we may not be able to provide some or all of our Services to you. We will notify you if this is the case at the time.
No Automated Decision-Making and Profiling. As part of the Services, we do not engage in automated decision-making and/or profiling, which produces legal or similarly significant effects. We will let you know if that changes by updating this Privacy Policy.
Security. We have put in place procedures designed to deal with breaches of personal information. In the event of such breaches, we have procedures in place to work with applicable regulators. In addition, in certain circumstances (including where we are legally required to do so), we may notify you of breaches affecting your personal information.
Your rights
General. European data protection laws give you certain rights regarding your personal information. If you are located in Europe, you may ask us to take any of the following actions in relation to your personal information that we hold:
- Access. Provide you with information about our processing of your personal information and give you access to your personal information.
- Correct. Update or correct inaccuracies in your personal information.
- Delete. Delete your personal information where there is no lawful reason for us continuing to store or process it, where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons that will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
- Portability. Port a machine-readable copy of your personal information to you or a third party of your choice, in certain circumstances. Note that this right only applies to automated information for which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
- Restrict. Restrict the processing of your personal information, if, (i) you want us to establish the personal information's accuracy; (ii) where our use of the personal information is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (iii) where you need us to hold the personal information even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (iv) you have objected to our use of your personal information but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use.
- Object. Object to our processing of your personal information where we are relying on legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation that makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedom – you also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
- Withdraw Consent. When we use your personal information based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.
Exercising These Rights. You may submit these requests by email. See the How to contact us section above for our contact details. We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and process your request. Whether or not we are required to fulfill any request you make will depend on a number of factors (e.g., why and how we are processing your personal information), if we reject any request you may make (whether in whole or in part) we will let you know our grounds for doing so at the time, subject to any legal restrictions. Typically, you will not have to pay a fee to exercise your rights; however, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within a month. It may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or if you have made a number of requests; in this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
Your Right to Lodge a Complaint with your Supervisory Authority. In addition to your rights outlined above, if you are not satisfied with our response to a request you make, or how we process your personal information, you can make a complaint to the data protection regulator in your habitual place of residence.
- For users in the European Economic Area – the contact information for the data protection regulator in your place of residence can be found here: https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en.
- For users in the UK – the contact information for the UK data protection regulator is below:

Data Processing outside Europe; we are a US-based company and many of our service providers, advisers, partners or other recipients of data are also based in the US. This means that, if you use the Services, your personal information will necessarily be accessed and processed in the US. It may also be provided to recipients in other countries outside Europe.
It is important to note that that the US is not the subject of an ‘adequacy decision’ under the GDPR – basically, this means that the US legal regime is not considered by relevant European bodies to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information, which is equivalent to that provided by relevant European laws.
Where we share your personal information with third parties who are based outside Europe, we try to ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it in accordance with applicable privacy laws by making sure one of the following mechanisms is implemented:
- Transfers to territories with an adequacy decision. We may transfer your personal information to countries or territories whose laws have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information by the European Commission or UK Government (as and where applicable) (from time to time).
- Transfers to territories without an adequacy decision.
- We may transfer your personal information to countries or territories whose laws have not been deemed to provide such an adequate level of protection (e.g., the US, see above).
- However, in these cases:
- we may use specific appropriate safeguards, which are designed to give personal information effectively the same protection it has in Europe – for example, standard-form contracts approved by relevant authorities for this purpose; or
- in limited circumstances, we may rely on an exception, or ‘derogation’, which permits us to transfer your personal information to such country despite the absence of an ‘adequacy decision’ or ‘appropriate safeguards’ – for example, reliance on your explicit consent to that transfer.
You may contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal information out of Europe.

Memory as Resistance: A Tribute to WHRDs no longer with us
AWID’s Tribute is an art exhibition honouring feminists, women’s rights and social justice activists from around the world who are no longer with us.
In 2020, we are taking a turn
This year’s tribute tells stories and shares narratives about those who co-created feminist realities, have offered visions of alternatives to systems and actors that oppress us, and have proposed new ways of organising, mobilising, fighting, working, living, and learning.
49 new portraits of feminists and Women Human Rights Defenders (WHRDs) are added to the gallery. While many of those we honour have passed away due to old age or illness, too many have been killed as a result of their work and who they are.
This increasing violence (by states, corporations, organized crime, unknown gunmen...) is not only aimed at individual activists but at our joint work and feminist realities.
The stories of activists we honour keep their legacy alive and carry their inspiration forward into our movements’ future work.
The portraits of the 2020 edition are designed by award winning illustrator and animator, Louisa Bertman.
AWID would like to thank the families and organizations who shared their personal stories and contributed to this memorial. We join them in continuing the remarkable work of these activists and WHRDs and forging efforts to ensure justice is achieved in cases that remain in impunity.
“They tried to bury us. They didn’t know we were seeds.” - Mexican Proverb
The Tribute was first launched in 2012
It took shape with a physical exhibit of portraits and biographies of feminists and activists who passed away at AWID’s 12th International Forum, in Turkey. It now lives as an online gallery, updated every year.
To date, 467 feminists and WHRDs are featured.

Avant de commencer
Avant d’aborder la méthodologie de recherche WITM, il est important que vous connaissiez les données de base et que vous sachiez à quoi vous attendre.
Capacité
En ce qui concerne la méthodologie de recherche WITM de l’AWID, nous recommandons d’étudier toute la boîte à outils.
Bien que cette boîte à outils ait été conçue pour démocratiser la recherche WITM, il existe des contraintes en termes de capacités liées à l’expérience de votre organisation dans le domaine des ressources et de la recherche qui pourraient influencer son aptitude à utiliser cette méthodologie.
Utilisez la Fiche de travail « Êtes-vous prêts-tes ? » pour évaluer votre niveau de préparation à mener votre propre recherche WITM. Plus vos réponses aux questions de cette fiche de travail seront nombreuses, plus vous serez capable d’entreprendre votre recherche.
Confiance
Avant de commencer toute recherche, nous vous recommandons de procéder à l’évaluation des liens que votre organisation a établis avec votre communauté et de la confiance qu’elle inspire.
Dans de nombreux contextes, les organisations pourraient hésiter à partager ouvertement leurs données financières avec d’autres pour des raisons diverses allant des inquiétudes que suscite la façon dont les données seront utilisées, à la crainte de la concurrence pour le financement en passant par les préoccupations au sujet des restrictions gouvernementales croissantes imposées aux organisations de la société civile.
Lorsque vous établirez des relations et que vous mènerez des recherches informelles pendant la période précédant le lancement de votre initiative, la clarté des objectifs fixés contribuera à instaurer la confiance. La transparence permettra aux personnes qui participent à la recherche de comprendre pourquoi vous recueillez des données et en quoi cela profitera à l’ensemble de la communauté.
Nous vous recommandons vivement de faire en sorte que les données soient recueillies de manière confidentielle et partagées anonymement. Cela permettra aux personnes qui participent à votre recherche de partager plus facilement avec vous des informations sensibles.
Première étape
Nous vous invitons à consulter notre Fiche de travail « Êtes-vous prêts-tes ? » pour mesurer vos propres progrès.

About Where is the Money? research
The global survey is a key pillar of the third iteration of our action-oriented research: “Where is the Money for Feminist Organizing?” (in short, Where is the Money or WITM). The results of the survey will be further elaborated and explored through in-depth conversations with activists and funders and cross-referenced with other existing analysis and research on the state of funding for feminists and gender equality globally.
The full “Where is the Money for Feminist Organizing” report will be published in 2026.

Recueillez vos données
1. Avant le lancement
- Déterminez tout d’abord quel est le meilleur moyen d’atteindre la population cible de votre sondage.
Par exemple, si vous souhaitez vous concentrer sur les organisations qui travaillent auprès des femmes autochtones, connaissez-vous les réseaux clés ? Êtes-vous en contact avec eux? Qui pourraient vous présenter à ces organisations ou vous suggérer des moyens de les atteindre ? - Déterminez si votre population cible peut être facilement être jointe par un sondage en ligne, si vous devez plutôt distribuer un sondage sur papier ou avoir recours à ces deux méthodes à la fois. Cette décision est très importante pour garantir l’accessibilité et la nature inclusive de votre sondage.
- Préparez-vous à l’avance ! Avant de l’annoncer, dressez une liste des espaces en ligne où vous pourrez faire la promotion de votre sondage.
Si vous distribuez une version papier, dressez une liste des activités, espaces et méthodes en vue de la distribution et de la collecte des résultats. - Planifiez votre calendrier à l’avance, afin d’éviter de faire démarrer votre sondage pendant les périodes de fêtes importantes ou de longues vacances.
- Facilitez la tâche des personnes qui vous conseillent et des partenaires qui veulent faire la promotion de votre sondage : offrez-leur des messages et des courriels que vous aurez rédigés pour Twitter et Facebook, qu’ils peuvent copier et coller.
2. Lancement
- Envoyez l’hyperlien menant au sondage par courriel en utilisant les bases de données des adresses courriels de votre organisation.
- Annoncez-la sur les réseaux sociaux que votre organisation utilise. Comme pour vos bulletins, vous pouvez annoncer régulièrement le sondage pendant sa période d’ouverture.
- Si votre organisation accueille des activités qui touchent les membres de votre population cible, c’est l’endroit idéal pour faire la promotion de votre projet et pour distribuer la version papier de votre sondage, le cas échéant.
- Invitez les personnes qui vous conseillent à promouvoir votre sondage par le truchement de leurs listes d’adresses électroniques et demandez-leur de vous mettre en copie leurs échanges pour vous informer de leurs messages promotionnels. N’oubliez pas d’envoyer des rappels de suivi si elles ont accepté de divulguer le sondage.
- Approchez les bailleurs de fonds afin qu’ils partagent votre sondage avec leurs bénéficiaires. Il est de leur intérêt que leurs groupes répondent à un sondage qui vise à améliorer leur propre travail sur le terrain.
3. Pendant le lancement
- Faites en sorte que le sondage soit ouverte pendant au moins quatre semaines de sorte que tout le monde ait le temps d’y répondre et que vous ayez le temps d’en faire la promotion.
- Envoyez des rappels en utilisant vos propres bases de données d’adresses électroniques, et celles de vos partenaires, en demandant aux gens de participer au sondage. Pour éviter d’agacer les gens en leur envoyant trop de courriels, nous recommandons d’adresser deux courriels de rappel supplémentaires : un à la moitié du projet et l’autre une semaine avant la fin du sondage.
- Lors de vos démarches de promotion, n’oubliez pas de préciser que vous ne recueillez qu’une réponse par organisation. Cela vous permettra de nettoyer vos données plus facilement lorsque vous vous préparerez à les analyser.
- Réservez une semaine supplémentaire ! Lorsque vous en êtes à la moitié du temps alloué à votre sondage, vérifiez l’ensemble de vos données. Où en êtes-vous actuellement ? Procédez à un décompte initial pour voir combien de groupes ont répondu, dans quelle zone, etc. ? Si vous constatez des lacunes, efforcez-vous d’atteindre ces populations en particulier. De plus, examinez l’option de prolonger votre sondage d’une semaine. Si vous le faites, indiquez-le dans l’un de vos courriels de rappel, en informant les personnes qu’elles ont plus de temps pour remplir le sondage. Il arrive fréquemment que plusieurs réponses arrivent pendant la dernière semaine ou encore après le délai supplémentaire.
Si vous prévoyez de recueillir des données issues des demandes soumises aux institutions d’octroi de subventions, ce moment est opportun pour communiquer avec elles.
Lorsque vous recueillez ces données, réfléchissez aux types de demandes de subventions que vous souhaitez examiner. Votre cadre de recherche vous orientera sur cette question.
De plus, il n’est peut-être pas nécessaire de revoir chaque demande soumise à l’organisation. Il sera plus utile et efficace de ne passer en revue que les demandes admissibles (qu’elles aient ou non été financées).
Par ailleurs, vous pouvez aussi demander aux institutions d’octroi de subventions de partager leurs données avec vous.

Préparez vos données en vue de l’analyse
Votre sondage est terminée et vous avez une mine de renseignements ! Vous devez maintenant faire en sorte que vos données soient les plus exactes possibles.
Selon la taille de votre échantillon et la quantité de sondages remplis, cette étape peut être longue. Ce processus sera accéléré et gagnera en précision si vous disposez d’une bonne réserve de personnel qui a le souci du détail.
Vous aurez peut-être recueilli, en plus de vos sondages, des données issues des demandes soumises aux institutions d’octroi de subventions. Utilisez les mêmes étapes pour traiter ces données. Ne vous découragez pas si vous ne pouvez comparer les deux ensembles de données ! Les bailleurs de fonds recueillent des renseignements différents de ceux que vous aurez obtenus de vos sondages. Dans le rapport final et les produits de votre recherche, vous pouvez analyser et présenter les ensembles de données de manière distincte (données issues des sondages et des institutions d’octroi de subventions).
1. Nettoyez vos données
- Évitez et supprimez les doubles emplois : s’il y a plus d’un sondage rempli pour une même organisation, contactez-la et déterminez lequel est le plus exact.
- Supprimez les réponses inacceptables : passez en revue chaque sondage rempli et retirez les réponses qui ne répondent pas adéquatement à la question. Remplacez cette réponse par « nulle », en l’excluant ainsi de votre analyse.
- Formatez les données numériques de façon systématique : par exemple, vous pouvez retirer les virgules, les décimales et les symboles du dollar des réponses numériques. Il se pourrait que vous ayez à convertir les données financières en différentes devises.
2. Codifiez les réponses aux questions ouvertes
Il existe deux types de questions ouvertes qui exigent une codification.
Questions appelant des réponses ouvertes
Pour ces questions, vous devrez codifier les réponses afin de cerner les tendances.
Vous aurez à affronter les difficultés suivantes :
- Les gens n’emploieront pas exactement les mêmes mots pour décrire des réponses semblables.
- Les sondages proposant des versions en plusieurs langues devront être traduites, puis codifiées.
- Les compétences du personnel chargé d’examiner et de codifier les réponses ouvertes.
Si vous avez recours à plus d’une personne pour examiner et codifier, vous devrez vous assurer que la codification est systématique. Voilà pourquoi nous recommandons de limiter les questions ouvertes et d’être le plus précis possible si vous posez ce type de questions.
Par exemple, si vous posez cette question ouverte : « Quelles difficultés spécifiques avez-vous rencontrées cette année en matière de levée de fonds ? ».
Les réponses pourraient être : « le manque de ressources humaines » ou « pas assez de personnel ». Ces réponses peuvent être regroupées et codifiées sous une même catégories « manque de personnel ». Ceci vous permettra d’obtenir le nombre de personnes qui ont répondu de manière semblable.
Questions appelant des réponses fermées
Si vous avez proposé aux personnes répondantes de préciser leurs réponses, vous devrez procéder au « surcodage » de ces réponses.
Pour certaines questions du sondage, vous aurez peut-être proposé l’option « autre ». Lorsque cette option est offerte, on l’accompagne fréquemment d’une zone de texte où les personnes peuvent préciser leurs réponses.
Différentes méthodes de « surcodage » :
- Convertir les réponses ouvertes en catégories pertinentes qui existent déjà (ce que l’on appelle le « surcodage »). À titre d’exemple, si votre sondage demande « Quelle est votre couleur favorite ? » et que vous proposez les options « bleu », « vert » et « autre ». Certaines personnes pourraient choisir « autre » et écrire dans la zone de texte « ma couleur favorite est celle du ciel ». Vous procéderiez donc au « surcodage » de cette réponse en la plaçant sous la catégorie pertinente, ici le « bleu ».
- Créer une nouvelle catégorie si plusieurs personnes ont choisi « autre », mais sous un thème commun. (Cette situation est semblable à la codification du premier type de réponses ouvertes). Si l’on reprend l’exemple précédent sur la couleur favorite, plusieurs personnes pourraient avoir choisi « autre », puis écrit « rouge ». Dans cette situation, vous pourriez créer une nouvelle catégorie, « rouge » pour saisir le nombre de personnes ayant répondu « rouge ».
- Supprimer les réponses « autre » qui ne correspondent à aucune catégorie existante ou nouvellement créée.
3. Supprimez les données inutiles
Analysez la fréquence des résultats
Pour chaque question quantitative, vous pouvez décider de retirer les 5 % ou les 1 % les plus élevés et les moins élevés afin d’éviter que des données aberrantes* ne biaisent vos résultats. Vous pouvez aussi traiter l’effet de biais en employant une moyenne médiane plutôt qu’une moyenne arithmétique. Pour calculer la médiane, il faut d’abord ordonner les données (les trier dans l’ordre ascendant). La médiane est le nombre qui se situe au point milieu. Cependant, il faut garder à l’esprit qu’il est possible que vous estimiez que les données aberrantes soient utiles. Elles vous donneront une idée de la gamme et de la diversité des personnes participant au sondage et vous choisirez peut-être de réaliser une étude de cas qui porte sur ces données aberrantes.
* Une donnée aberrante est un point de données qui est beaucoup plus grand ou beaucoup plus petit que la majorité des points de données. Par exemple, imaginons que vous viviez dans un quartier de classe moyenne avec pour voisin un millionnaire. Vous décidez de connaître l’échelle de revenu chez les familles de classe moyenne de votre quartier. Pour ce faire, vous devez retirer le revenu du millionnaire de votre ensemble de données, puisqu’il s’agit d’une donnée aberrante. Sinon, la moyenne du revenu de classe moyenne semblera beaucoup plus élevée qu’elle ne l’est en réalité.
Retirez tout le sondage concernant les répondant-e-s qui ne correspondent pas à votre population cible. Habituellement, vous les reconnaîtrez par le nom de l’organisation ou encore par leurs réponses aux questions qualitatives.
4. Assurez la sécurité
Pour assurer la confidentialité de l’information partagée par les répondant-e-s, vous pouvez à cette étape remplacer les noms des organisations par une nouvelle série de numéros d’identité et sauvegarder la codification, conservant les noms et les numéros d’identification dans un dossier distinct.
En collaboration avec votre équipe, déterminez la manière de stocker et de protéger le dossier de codification et les données.
Par exemple, les données seront-elles stockées dans un ordinateur ou un serveur protégé par mot de passe, auquel seule l’équipe de recherche aurait accès ?
Créez votre rapport de synthèse
Un rapport de synthèse dresse la liste de toutes les questions posées lors du sondage ainsi que les réponses obtenues en pourcentages inscrits sous chaque question. Ce document présente les résultats collectifs de toutes les réponses individuelles.
Conseils :
- Il est important d’être systématique : on doit appliquer les mêmes règles à chaque donnée aberrante lorsque l’on détermine si elle devrait demeurer ou être retirée de l’ensemble des données.
- Pour toutes les réponses ouvertes (« autre ») qui sont « surcodées », assurez-vous que la codification est en adéquation. Désignez une personne afin qu’elle vérifie la cohérence et la fiabilité des codes de façon aléatoire et qu’elle révise les codes si nécessaire.
- Si possible, tentez de toujours travailler en équipe de deux personnes afin que quelqu’un puisse vérifier le travail.
Analysez vos données
Maintenant que vos données sont nettoyées et triées, que veulent dire toutes ces informations ? Voici la partie la plus stimulante, où vous commencez à analyser pour dégager les tendances.
Est-ce qu’il existe des types de bailleurs de fonds particulièrement importants (gouvernement par rapport aux sociétés privées) ? Est-ce qu’il y a des régions qui reçoivent plus de financements ? Vos données révéleront des renseignements fort intéressants.
1. Programmes statistiques
-
Échantillons plus petits (moins de 150 réponses) : peuvent être analysés en interne à l’aide d’une feuille de calcul Excel.
-
Échantillons plus grands (plus de 150 réponses) : peuvent être analysés en interne à l’aide d’Excel, si votre analyse se résume à compter l’ensemble des réponses, des moyennes ou d’autres analyses simples.
-
Si vous prévoyez des analyses plus poussées, comme des analyses à variables multiples, nous recommandons alors d’avoir recours à un logiciel statistique comme - SPSS, Stata, R (gratuit)
REMARQUE: SPSS et Stata sont dispendieux alors que R est gratuit.
Ces trois types de logiciels exigent des connaissances de la part du personnel et il n’est pas facile de les maîtriser rapidement.
Essayez de trouver des stagiaires ou du personnel temporaire, provenant notamment des universités locales. De nombreux étudiant-e-s doivent apprendre l’analyse statistique au cours de leurs programmes et ils-elles pourraient avoir un accès gratuit aux logiciels SPSS ou Stata par l’intermédiaire de l’université. Ces étudiant-e-s sauront probablement utiliser le logiciel R, qui peut être téléchargé et utilisé gratuitement.

Could there be multiple responses to the WITM survey on behalf of a specific group?
No, we are asking for just one completed survey per group.
