Data Analyst Internships
Samuel Hall is an independent think
tank specialized in field research and social impact. We provide practicable
insights to challenging issues in the developing world by providing academic –
standard research through primary data collection in areas where researchers do
not commonly go. Samuel Hall works with governments, donors, multilateral
organizations and INGOs, as well public and private sector entities. We have
worked with more than sixty- five organizations worldwide since 2009 through
our offices in Afghanistan, Kenya and Somalia covering Asia and Africa.
At the Migration and Displacement Pillar, we produce knowledge and data on
population movements in and out of countries of origin, transit and
destination. Using quantitative and qualitative, participatory research with
migrants, refugees and internally displaced persons, we build evidence on their
social environment, protection, livelihoods, contributions and aspirations. We
use this evidence to deliver trainings and capacity building to actors shaping
the lives of migrants, and to design programmes and policies that adhere to
international frameworks. Our approach is inductive and contextually relevant.
