Sector
Digital systems for NGOs and development programmes
M&E dashboards, donor reporting and field data collection, built for teams working where the signal is weakest and the reporting deadline does not move.
Procurement status
30% of national procurement spend is reserved for youth, women and PWD-owned enterprises under AGPO.
What usually goes wrong
The programme works. Proving it is what costs you weekends.
The delivery is rarely the problem. Producing the evidence, in the donor’s own format, by the date in the grant agreement, is. These are the four we are called in to fix.
Field data arrives late, by WhatsApp
Enumerators work where there is no signal, so nothing can be submitted on the spot. Figures get photographed, forwarded and retyped, and the errors enter at the retyping.
Every report is rebuilt from scratch
Indicators are recalculated by hand each quarter from four spreadsheets, and two versions of the same figure never quite agree.
Personal data collected without a basis
Names, ID numbers and phone numbers gathered in the field with no privacy notice, no retention rule and no record of consent. The Data Protection Act applies to NGOs too.
The donor wants a format nobody can produce
The reporting template changes, the export does not, and somebody spends three days reshaping a spreadsheet the system should have produced.
What we build for this sector
Systems that produce the report, not just the data.
Offline-first field collection
Captured on a phone with no signal, queued on the device, and synced when the enumerator reaches town.
Indicator frameworks
Each number defined once, with its inclusions and exclusions written down, so two people get the same answer.
M&E dashboards
The figures programme managers act on, current, rather than assembled the week before a board meeting.
Scheduled donor exports
The quarterly return generated in the donor’s own format, in minutes rather than days.
Data protection implementation
Lawful basis, consent capture and retention, applied to the forms your field teams already use.
Beneficiary registries
One record per person, de-duplicated, with an audit trail of who changed what and when.
