Technology for monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL): we need to address complexity, interoperability and affordability.

Alfie is Aptivate's web-based Log Frame monitoring tool, designed to address the monitoring and evaluation challenges faced by many international development organisations.

In this time of austerity DFID has maintained its commitment to spend 0.7% of UK gross national income on aid. Making aid spending more transparent is an excellent aim but it requires better data collection and more of it. At Aptivate we are considering the burden this places on small NGOs and what IT can do to help.
