About Me

I'm Cynthia Muyunda-Kambobe. I build Decision Engines — data systems that take manual reporting chaos and turn it into clear, actionable intelligence.

For 9 years I've built these systems in the field — for UNHCR's drought emergency response, USAID SUN TA's multi-sector programmes tracking 69,000+ records across 416 facilities, and organisations working in zero-connectivity environments.

I'm a Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP), an ILO/Microsoft-accredited Women in Digital Business trainer, and currently finishing an MSc in Data Science.

The credentials matter. But the real point is this: your team shouldn't spend hours every week rebuilding the same reports. Your data shouldn't live in ten spreadsheets nobody trusts. And "insights" shouldn't mean hunting through files to answer basic questions.

I fix that — and I can show you exactly where to start in a 2-hour Data Decision Audit.

Sound familiar?

Many entrepreneurs and teams have plenty of tools and data, but still struggle to see what is working. I help bridge the gap between busy digital activity and clear, confident decisions.

What's Getting in the Way

Scattered Tools, Manual Work

WhatsApp, spreadsheets, forms, and platforms that do not talk to each other. Staff spend hours copying, pasting, and fixing data before a single report or update can be shared.

Dashboards Without Direction

Reports and charts look impressive, but no one is sure what to do next. Leaders are left asking “So what?” instead of seeing the few numbers that really matter.

Tech That People Avoid

Systems feel too technical for everyday use. Without clear workflows, documentation, or basic digital literacy, teams fall back to manual work and side spreadsheets.

What Changes When We Work Together

Simple “Decision Engines”

I design light-touch data and AI workflows that turn real-world inputs into reliable numbers, so your team spends less time fixing data and more time acting on it.

Decision-First Storytelling

We start with the decisions you need to make, then shape metrics, reports, and visuals that answer those questions in plain language.

Digital & Data Literacy Built In

I pair every system with plain-language guidance and training so your team actually uses the tools, trusts the numbers, and keeps improving — not just during the project, but after it.

Good digital and data work moves you from “What happened?” to “What do we do next, and who will do it?”

My Services

I help entrepreneurs and teams stop rebuilding the same spreadsheets every week — replacing manual routines with simple systems, clearer numbers, and decisions they can actually act on.

Data Systems & Automation

Your team is spending hours every week on work a system should handle — copying things between tools, rebuilding the same report, chasing updates over WhatsApp. I fix the underlying flow so that work stops happening.

  • Map where time is lost across your current tools and channels
  • Replace manual copy-paste routines with repeatable automated pipelines
  • Connect your data sources — Kobo, Excel, Power BI, APIs — so they work together
  • Design end-to-end digital flows your team can actually maintain

Analytics & Decision Reporting

You have data — dashboards, reports, spreadsheets — but nobody is sure what to do with it. I start with the decisions your team needs to make, then build the smallest set of metrics and visuals that actually answer them.

  • Define the 3–5 decisions your organisation makes regularly
  • Build reports and dashboards that answer those questions on time
  • Replace "So what?" dashboards with clear signals for action
  • Design views for different roles — leadership, field teams, funders

Data & Digital Literacy

A good system fails if your team doesn't trust the numbers or know how to use the tools. I train non-technical teams and entrepreneurs to read their data, question it confidently, and apply AI in practical, everyday ways.

  • Hands-on sessions for entrepreneurs and non-technical staff
  • Teach teams to read, question, and act on their own numbers
  • Practical AI literacy — tools that support daily work, not replace it
  • ILO & Microsoft-backed WIDB certification for women entrepreneurs

Project Portfolio

9 years. Three UN-level organisations. Real systems, real results. These are the projects behind the work.

UNHCR Power BI Project

Crisis Response Automation: UNHCR Drought Pipeline

Transformed manual drought emergency spreadsheets into an automated, real-time intelligence pipeline. By connecting Kobo API to Power BI, I eliminated reporting delays—turning raw field data into actionable narratives for the protection cluster's drought emergency response.

Result: Automated a 100% manual reporting process, delivering real-time drought protection insights to the protection cluster with zero lag.

Geospatial Mapping Project

Converging Initiatives: Geospatial Decision Mapping

Developed an interactive geospatial engine to identify gaps and overlaps in Health, WASH, and Agriculture interventions. Using Python and GeoPandas, I transformed raw coordinates into layered spatial narratives, enabling organizations to move from "blind" implementation to data-driven, equitable resource allocation.

Result: Identified critical service delivery gaps by mapping the "convergence" of three different sectors, providing a blueprint for more equitable resource allocation across selected geographic locations.

DHIS2 Deployment

Multi-Sector Decision Infrastructure: USAID SUN TA MEL Data Management

Architected a full-scale DHIS2 deployment and RapidPro SMS data exchange to eliminate manual reporting silos across the organization. I transformed fragmented health, WASH, and agriculture data into a unified decision engine, enabling real-time tracking for over 69,000 multi-sector records covering 416 facilities in low-connectivity environments.

Result: Unified data streams from 416 facilities into a single source of truth, managing 69,000+ records and enabling data exchange in zero-connectivity zones via SMS.
