Business Intelligence (BI), Data Analysis & Reporting Consultant · South Africa

Turn Your Programme Data Into
Decisions That Work

I'm Thobelani Mfengwana — a data analysis and reporting consultant with 20+ years working inside government departments, national programmes, and donor-funded organisations across South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa.

I work with NGOs, government departments, parastatals, and development organisations that generate more data than they can use — helping them build practical reporting systems, programme dashboards, and the internal capability to turn that data into decisions that matter.

Whether your team is struggling with donor reports, programme performance tracking, or simply making sense of what your data is telling you — I bring the analytical depth and hands-on support that development organisations actually need.

A structured Business Intelligence approach — without the jargon.

Who I Work With

Organisations that generate data but need help turning it into decisions.

NGOs & Implementing Partners

Donor-funded programmes needing M&E systems, reporting infrastructure, and data strategy leadership.

Government & Parastatals

Provincial departments, district offices, and public sector bodies needing practical analytics and performance dashboards.

Development Sector

Health, climate, Just Transition, and social sector organisations that need data-backed programme evidence for funders and decision-makers.

How I Work

Practical. Grounded. Delivery-focused.

1

Understand Your Data Reality

I start by understanding what data you have, where it lives, and what decisions it needs to support — not what a textbook says it should look like.

2

Build What's Implementable

Solutions are designed for your team's capacity and your programme's constraints — not ideal-world scenarios that only work on paper.

3

Transfer Capability — Not Dependency

Whether consulting or capacity building, I leave your team more capable than when we started. The goal is your independence, not my return.

Advisory

Supporting organisations in data strategy, reporting capability development, and decision frameworks — from national departments and NGOs to donor-funded programme offices and development sector organisations navigating the shift to evidence-based management.

Dashboards

Live Power BI dashboards built for national and sub-national programme performance, supply chain visibility, and donor reporting — demonstrating what decision-oriented analytics looks like in practice.
