We are happy to have recently been contracted by these four organizations and programs:
For the Safe Water Enterprises Project by Siemens Foundation our Rwandan branch is setting up a WebMo that captures data related to the operation and community impact of water kiosks in Kenya. Data will be entered by local consultants and kiosk operators directly via mobile devices and then linked to the project’s logframe indicators to assess progress and identify need for additional support.

MERL Tech Jozi Takeaways: Matching Needs and Tools
Melanie Uhlen - 16.8.2018
In the first week of August, I attended the MERL Tech in Johannesburg, where the tech community in the Monitoring, Evaluation, Research and Learning space met for an intense two-day conference.
