One of the major challenges for any large-scale education, health, or economic development project is keeping track of activities while also monitoring and evaluating progress. This means pulling together myriad pieces of information across multiple program sites and sharing it with those who need it.  Additionally, in fragile countries with limited infrastructure, conducting financial transactions is a challenge that can be rife with the potential for physical danger and fraud.

EDC projects are applying innovative ICT solutions that speed up the processing of data collection and analysis using tablets, improve the transparency and sharing of vital project information via scalable dashboards, and secure the dispensation of payments through mobile banking.
