About PCI and RIPA Project:
Founded in 1961, PCI is an international non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing health, ending hunger, overcoming hardship, and advance women and girls around the world. In 2018, PCI served more than 12 million people in 15 countries across Asia, Africa, and the Americas. During the past 50 years, the organization has served millions more in 14 additional countries. PCI has five decades of experience and demonstrated impact in long-term development and community health, and 40 years of experience managing large-scale US Government (USG) grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements. It manages a portfolio of integrated programming that includes significant projects addressing reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health; food, nutrition, and livelihood security; HIV/AIDS; other diseases; water, sanitation, and hygiene; and humanitarian assistance/disaster risk reduction programs.
The Resilience in Pastoral Areas (RIPA) project in Ethiopia is a multi-million dollar, US Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded project that will improve resilience to enhance food security and inclusive economic growth. This multifaceted activity is expected to be a major component in USAID’s contribution to improving Ethiopia’s ability to withstand major shocks in the pastoral regions, a critical element on the journey to self-reliance. RIPA’s core activities will target 250,000 households (approximately 1.5 million people) in 5 Zones. Specifically, the project will tackle the root causes of vulnerability for lowlands households to withstand and recover from climate and conflict related shocks and stresses. These include weak disaster risk management capacity at different levels, limited livelihood diversification options, poor livestock and crop productivity, weak market linkages, and low levels of nutrition. Implementation focuses on systems change, with a strong learning component to ensure interventions are adapted per the latest data analysis and research. Partnerships with other implementers, donors, the GoE, and the private sector will be essential to reach the scale needed for real systems change.
Requirements for the MEL Data System
The MEL Data System expected is a web-based MEL data management system expected to be hosted on cloud (Azure) and users will have different privileges to access the data. The system will be a modular system so that it will be easy to add other functions as needed in the future. Most data collected will be uploaded as data files from electronic surveys and monitoring checklists using mobile devices.
System should include data disaggregation features (by beneficiary, location, assistance types and others as deemed necessary to track it) and feature of importing data from excel and Kobo toolbox and other digital data collection platforms and GPS coordinates. Additionally, the system should include periodic (monthly, quarterly, and annual) data tracking feature which summarizes data periodically as provided in disaggregation sections. Furthermore, the system should provide performance monitoring with features like filtering and highlighting areas of under/over performance that require attention. The system should also permit entering and saving records offline, including offline data backup. Data should be able to automatically sync up upon connectivity for timely uploads to the cloud.
The system should generate reports in tabular (%, average, ranking, comparisons) and has interactive visualization/dashboards, display graphs and other visual summary including GIS maps.
