The Ministry of Public Service teamed up with the Accountant General's Department to send sixteen staff members to learn Microsoft Power BI. This training kicked off on March 24, 2025, at Gomindz Academy near Kairaba Avenue. The program runs five full days and teaches government workers how to make sense of complex data. Power BI turns messy information into clear pictures anyone can understand at a glance.
Sheriff Jallow, Permanent Secretary for Reforms at Public Service, explained that they're building a special system for HR and payroll data. This new setup will let managers track important workforce numbers through easy-to-read dashboards. Staff can make faster, better decisions when they see patterns in their data right away. The system brings together separate information streams into one clear view.
The Public Service Ministry handles important tasks across the government, making sure citizens receive good service. Modern data tools help staff spot problems before they grow big. They can track trends, find ways to save money, and check if programs actually work. Visual charts and graphs make complicated numbers easy for anyone to grasp without special training.
Trainers want participants to learn basic data skills first, then practice using Power BI hands-on. By Friday, these government workers should create their first interactive dashboards without help. The ministry hopes everyone leaves ready to analyze real workplace data next week. Better data skills across government offices mean smarter planning for the country's future needs.
