Calling all data science enthusiasts! I came, I saw, I coded is the third episode in our brand new Integrity Matters podcast series, Speaking Diplomatically. Hosted by CEO and founder Anthony Ellis, over four weeks our expert team are sharing and discussing approaches for the monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) of influencing and diplomacy (I&D) interventions.
The latest episode features senior data scientist, Daisy Smith, who leads Integrity's innovations in integrating data science techniques into monitoring and evaluation. With senior MEL expert, Lamia Renaud, she discusses how open-source data can offer valuable nuance to how we approach MEL with this type of intervention, especially when we are interested in understanding the effects of an intervention at a national or international level over time.
In 2025 we have successfully showcased our toolkit for theorising, monitoring, and evaluating in a difficult-to-evidence sector at the UK Evaluation Society conference and in a tailored webinar. Now we are bringing busy audiences the opportunity to dive into this complex topic through four 15-minute episodes.
