Case Study: ACDI/VOCA streamlines global M&E and project data management with ActivityInfo

ACDI/VOCA unifies 25+ projects with ActivityInfo

ACDI/VOCA, an international development organization, faced a challenge in managing its diverse global projects with a complex and fragmented information system. Their previous setup, which utilized Microsoft Access, SQL Server, and multiple mobile data collection tools, was cumbersome, lacked a streamlined mobile data collection feature, and was nearing obsolescence. This made aggregating data for corporate reporting and cross-project learning inefficient and time-consuming. They sought a unified solution and chose the ActivityInfo platform to replace their existing system.

By implementing ActivityInfo, ACDI/VOCA consolidated its monitoring and evaluation onto a single, relational database platform. The solution provided integrated mobile data collection, real-time data updates, and robust user permissions, which significantly improved data quality and integrity. The migration, supported by the ActivityInfo team, was a success, allowing the organization to efficiently aggregate data from over 25 projects for donor reporting and corporate indicators linked to UN SDGs. The result was a streamlined process that saved time, reduced manual work, and provided a reliable foundation for data analysis and cross-project learning.
