ActivityInfo is monitoring and evaluation software that has been specifically designed for the humanitarian and international development sectors. First employed through the cluster system in the Democratic Republic of Congo, ActivityInfo was able to replace many Word and Excel based tools exchanged by e-mail with an online, centralized, standardized and integrated system for data collection, mapping and analysis. Not only does ActivityInfo improve coordination in the field, but it also saves many practitioners a lot of time spent reformatting data to suit a multitude of reporting formats and ad hoc requests for programmatic information. With these requirements greatly reduced through the use of ActivityInfo, aid workers are able to direct more of their attention to implementation or deeper analysis of the data collected including more frequent field visits. The combination of improved coordination and time saved, particularly by managers and coordinators, will hopefully lead to an increase in program quality and a reduction in costs (especially when one considers hourly wage saved or redirected to other ends than reporting). In order to promote the use of ActivityInfo, it is free for individual field teams to use, although we ask a contribution from organisations when it is used by multiple field sites or at country or an organisational level, to cover our costs.
