M&E

In the Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) sector, data is the foundation for decision-making, program assessment, and improving project outcomes. Fieldata is designed to streamline data collection and reporting processes for M&E professionals, ensuring they can gather, analyze, and visualize data with ease and accuracy.

Key Features of Fieldata for M&E

  • Mobile and Web-Based Data Collection:

    Fieldata’s platform supports both mobile and web-based data collection, allowing M&E teams to capture data on-site or remotely. The system works both online and offline, making it ideal for use in regions with limited connectivity.

  • Customizable Forms:

    Fieldata enables the creation of customized forms to suit various monitoring and evaluation needs. Whether it’s ODK forms or web forms, M&E teams can add logic, conditions, and calculations to ensure the correct data is captured. Fieldata also supports multimedia inputs, allowing users to upload images, videos, and audio recordings.

  • Data Quality Checks:

    To ensure data integrity, Fieldata offers automated quality checks. M&E teams can set up specific questions or parameters for real-time validation, ensuring only high-quality data is collected. This reduces the chances of errors and ensures that reliable insights can be drawn.

  • Multi-Language Support:

    Working in diverse regions often means dealing with language barriers. Fieldata allows the development of multi-language forms, ensuring surveys and evaluations can be conducted in the respondent’s preferred language, increasing the accuracy of the data collected.

  • Geolocation and Time-Stamping:

    One of the crucial needs in M&E is tracking where and when data is collected. Fieldata integrates geolocation and time-stamping features, allowing for automatic capture of location data and timestamps for all field entries, ensuring the authenticity of the information collected.

  • Real-Time Data Visualizations and Dashboards:

    Fieldata offers a dynamic dashboard with real-time visualizations. M&E professionals can create customizable reports with graphs, charts, and tables, making it easier to analyze and communicate findings. This feature ensures transparency and clarity in project reporting.

  • Custom Report Generation:

    Reporting is a significant aspect of the M&E process. Fieldata supports custom report generation, allowing stakeholders to access relevant data in a variety of formats such as Excel, SPSS, and CSV. These reports can be tailored based on specific project indicators, key metrics, and desired outcomes.

  • Data Security and Compliance:

    Fieldata ensures that data is securely stored and complies with local and international data protection regulations. With end-to-end encryption, role-based access, and secure cloud storage, M&E data remains protected throughout the collection, analysis, and reporting phases.

Use Case: Monitoring a Public Health Program

A public health NGO tasked with monitoring the impact of a nutrition program across rural areas implemented Fieldata’s mobile-based survey system for their field agents. The NGO needed to evaluate various aspects of the program, such as food distribution, beneficiary satisfaction, and the nutritional status of children.

  • Custom Form Design:

    The NGO used Fieldata to create mobile surveys with tailored questions specific to their project. The forms included conditional logic to show or hide questions based on responses, making data collection more efficient.

  • Data Collection in Remote Areas:

    Field agents were able to collect data offline in remote regions with no internet connectivity. Once the agents reached areas with connectivity, the data automatically synced with the central database.

  • Geolocation & Timestamping:

    Each data entry included the GPS coordinates and timestamp, allowing the NGO to verify the authenticity of the data and monitor field operations.

  • Real-Time Dashboards:

    The program managers monitored data in real-time using Fieldata’s dynamic dashboards. They generated customized reports with visual graphs and charts to analyze program success and address gaps.

  • Automated Data Quality Checks:

    Fieldata’s automated quality checks ensured that data collected met preset standards. This allowed the NGO to quickly identify and correct any inconsistencies in the data before reporting it to donors.
