Reporting takes over
Field data is collected on paper or Kobo, cleaned in Excel and retyped into every donor template and DHIS2. Reports are late and the numbers don't match.
Free toolkit for NGOs and programmes
Your programmes depend on IT. Make it work for you.
Free tools for organisations working in WASH, HIV and TB, gender and GBV, digital health and beyond: find your gaps in eight minutes, and start fixing them with ready-to-use policies.
01 The problem
Programmes come first. IT gets whatever is left.
Most NGOs we meet are excellent at delivery and stretched on the technology underneath it. These are the four gaps we see most often.
Sensitive data at risk
HIV status, TB treatment and GBV cases sit on personal laptops and travel over WhatsApp. One lost device can expose the people you serve.
No one owns IT
Personal Gmail accounts, shared passwords, no backups. When someone leaves, their files leave with them.
Digital promised, not delivered
Proposals promise dashboards, SMS reminders or AI, but nobody designs or costs them, and systems stop when the grant ends.
02 Free assessment
NGO digital & data readiness
20 questions, about eight minutes. You get a personalised report on screen and by email: your score in each area, what you are doing well, your priority actions and a 90-day plan.
