Collecting and managing geo-tagged data for M&E, with simple tools and local skills: The Geo-Enabling initiative for Monitoring and Supervision (GEMS)_IPDET_2021

Lernziele

After the hands-on training, all participants should be able to create their own real-time monitoring platform with tailor-made digital questionnaires, deploy the system and begin data collection in the field and real-time analysis. it will cover: - Data platform conception and administration, System deployment, data synchronization, data analysis and management, geo-mapping, data export

Inhalte

This workshop will train M&E stakeholders in the use of simple and cost-free open-source tools to create customized digital field data collection and analysis systems. These data automatically feed into a centralized system that allows for geo-tagged data visualization of infrastructure investments, service delivery, or any kind of field activities. As the underlying technology is based on open source software, the system itself presents a low-threshold and efficient solution for data management as a basis for various real-time monitoring, supervision and evaluation uses. The GEMS method has been widely used in more than 70 developing countries by the World Bank and the donor community, governments, UN Agencies, NGOs and researchers.
