These vyapaaris primarily work with Coal iron boxes, where coal is the input fuel that heats the boxes. This product has not evolved in decades. The current product and market conditions make it difficult for vyapaaris to sustain and grow their businesses. Every morning vyapaaris spend nearly 2 hours to heat up coal, taking up time to iron more clothes or earn additional income. https://apero.thedataareclean.com/project/noral/ Mon, 01 Nov 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://apero.thedataareclean.com/project/noral/ Background The Northern Alliance of Scotland is a regional improvement collaborative, spanning across and supporting eight local authorities and their associated school settings to improve education and reduce the poverty related attainment gap. Within these settings, children, young people and their families live across a diverse range of urban and rural settlements. The aim of this collaboration is to determine what data sources and analytical techniques best reflect the challenges of child poverty, and subsequently provide a means to assess the poverty related attainment gap as a result – which will further allow individual school settings, local authorities and other bodies to plan targeted interventions to reduce it. https://apero.thedataareclean.com/project/girl-ed/ Thu, 01 Apr 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://apero.thedataareclean.com/project/girl-ed/ Background CivicDataLab partnered with HAQ: Centre for Child Rights (HAQ-CRC) and Malala Fund on a project to strengthen financial accountability towards girl education in Uttar Pradesh.
