Case Study: The AVSI Foundation in Uganda centralizes M&E reporting with ActivityInfo

The AVSI Foundation unifies 22 projects in ActivityInfo in just 2 hours of data-entry training

The AVSI Foundation in Uganda, a non-profit organization running over 22 projects across multiple sectors, faced a challenge in monitoring and evaluation due to the lack of a centralized Management Information System (MIS). Each project used its own disparate system, from Excel spreadsheets to Access databases, making it difficult to aggregate data for strategic reporting to donors and their headquarters. They selected ActivityInfo as their solution to centralize data storage, simplify entry, and improve reporting.

Implementing ActivityInfo allowed the AVSI Foundation to quickly aggregate data from all its projects into a single platform for analysis and reporting. The solution provided measurable impact by saving time and reducing costs, eliminating the need to design and maintain multiple separate systems. ActivityInfo's user-friendly design enabled the M&E team to build databases themselves and train staff on data entry in just two hours. The platform now supports evidence-based decision-making and transparent reporting for key stakeholders, and its use is being expanded to new projects for cost-effective project-level data management.
