A Technical Overview for Donors and Partners

EvidFlow is a smart, intelligence driven data infrastructure designed to strengthen Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning systems across humanitarian and development programmes. Every component adheres to GDPR principles, privacy by design, and sector standards including CHS, Do No Harm, safeguarding protocols, and responsible data management frameworks.

9 Core Features

GDPR Compliant

CHS Standards

Beneficiary Database

A secure, structured beneficiary information system built to support large scale humanitarian programming. Key technical elements include:

Encrypted storage and controlled access based on user roles
Prevention of duplication through smart matching logic
Metadata tracking for registration, verification, and updates
Full compliance with data minimization and purpose limitation requirements

This environment supports clean identity management, accurate targeting, and consistent reporting.

Longitudinal Participant Tracker

A structured tracking architecture that follows individuals, households, and groups across multiple project cycles. The tracker maintains consistent identifiers, captures repeat observations, and builds time series datasets that show:

Service access over time
Outcome changes and progression
Shifts in vulnerability and capacity
Participation history across interventions

This function enables multi cycle follow up, stronger accountability to communities, and precise measurement of change at participant level.

Real-time Dashboards

A dynamic visualization engine that generates analytical dashboards directly from the longitudinal data. Dashboards provide:

Progress and performance trend analysis
Early identification of bottlenecks and disparities
Cross project comparisons and multi sector insights
Automated updates whenever new data is ingested

The dashboard layer gives partners, donors, and programme teams clear visibility of outcomes, coverage, and emerging risks across all operational areas.

Digital Feedback and Response Mechanisms

A fully digital, multi-channel accountability system configured according to MEAL and CHS commitments. Capabilities include:

Intake of feedback, complaints, and inquiries across SMS, forms, hotline logs and field collection
Automated assignment by category, sensitivity, severity, and referral protocol
Audit trails for response times and closure
Secure handling of personal identifiers following GDPR compliant procedures

This structure ensures faster response, transparent case management, and stronger two way engagement with communities.

Automated Data Cleaning and Validation

An intelligence driven data verification engine that enforces high standards of data quality. Functions include:

Completeness and accuracy checks
Detection of duplicates, outliers, inconsistencies and invalid syntax
Logical rule validation aligned with sector indicators
Documentation of every correction for full auditability

This improves data integrity and reduces the burden on field teams.

Automated Reporting Engine

A structured reporting function that transforms validated datasets into donor compliant progress outputs. Capabilities include:

Generation of indicator results, narrative summaries, tables, and charts
Pre-configured templates for donors such as ECHO, UNICEF, USAID and SIDA
Automatic alignment with log frames, results frameworks, and workplan milestones
Version control and traceability

This ensures timely, consistent, and evidence-based reporting across all projects.

Communication and Visibility Function

A communication support layer that prepares project visibility materials in line with donor requirements. Deliverables include:

Human interest narratives, beneficiary stories, and field highlights
Project briefs, factsheets, and situation updates
Visibility compliant content for donor branding

This improves transparency and strengthens partner communication efforts.

Predictive and Impact Analytics

An advanced analytics function that generates early warning signals, impact insights, and scenario analysis. Technical features include:

Pattern detection from historical and current programme data
Forecasting models for risk, demand, and resource needs
Contribution and outcome analysis aligned with sector indicators
Insights to support adaptive management and strategic planning

This strengthens programme effectiveness and anticipatory action.

Smart Assistant for MEAL Teams

A real time technical support function designed to improve MEAL quality and operational efficiency. Capabilities include:

Guidance on indicator formulation, data standards, sampling approaches, and accountability norms
Assistance with cleaning procedures, validation checks, analysis methods, and report structuring
Access to predefined knowledge and guidance aligned with humanitarian protocols

This reduces learning gaps, enables consistent quality, and strengthens institutional memory.
