Who This Programme is For?


NGOs and Social Enterprises that need to collect clean data.

You're a change-maker, an aid worker, an innovator or a data champion who knows that there is a better way to:

  • Show the impact of your work to donors, managers and stakeholders.

  • Do Rapid Needs Assessments with fast turnaround times.

  • Make better evidence-based decisions.

  • Capture stock counts, distributions, and training attendance all through standard mobile forms.

  • Manage your programmes remotely.

  • Collect situation-reports through mobile data collection for efficiency.

  • Promote standard data collection across global programmes - but enable contextualisation!

  • Use data to serve your 'beneficiary' with the same level of attention and care you serve your donors.

    • If you want to scale up and grow your funding - you need good data. But that means you need to scale-up your data-skills at the local level.
