1 LI M&E Location Intelligence for Global Development 2012 awhere Inc. 1

2 awhere Vision Accountability, Transparency, Visibility Location Intelligent Monitoring & Evaluation Evidence-based accountability Transparency and visibility for project management & donors Institutional memory for all Sustainable (Global) Development Reduce risk Increase productivity and improved community health Stewardship of natural resources Target interventions for rural families (by crop, gender, role, geography )

3 LI M&E Capabilities Real-time Monitoring & Evaluation Monitoring and Evaluation for strategic and tactical decisions Data for Greater Public Good Leverage research results across the agro-economic value chain and supporting recommendation domains New Insight Analysis and discovery to reduce risk in strategy development Persistent Value of Data Retain and grow organization data and knowledge as an asset

4 Location Intelligence (LI) Overview Enterprise Relational Database Management Systems Location and time (event) based transactional system Spatial and Geographic Information Systems Provenance Scalability Context Prediction Causality

5 LI Technology Overview Integrated systems and methods for data management: Targeting Capture & collection Cleansing & Provisioning (for LI) Security Attribution Accessibility Feedback 360 o process Don t let data rot on the vine. Similar to agricultural products, data must get to market to realize its value.

6 Data Curation To curate data, two things must occur: 1) The data must be stored safely (digital archive) and 2) The data must be accessible and valued by a wide range of people "Data curation is the active and on-going management of data through its life cycle of interest and usefulness to scholarship, science, and education. Data curation activities enable data discovery and retrieval, maintain its quality, add value, and provide for reuse over time, and this new field includes authentication, archiving, management, preservation, retrieval, and representation. University of Illinois, Graduate School and Library and Information Science

7 Global Access controlled safe, secure, and citable End-user Applications Government Policy Makers, MoA Reports Excel, PDF etc. Partners NGO s, Donors, public Notifications and mobile notifications Extension, Field Staff, Researchers Universities Agile technology Synchronization Templates How Formats to collect what data? Data Capture Curated Data Analytics and Visualization Public Donor Grantee Scientist Requirements Helps define what to collect and for whom

8 End to End Information Flow Target Collect Evaluate Recommend Publish Analysis tools to understand local conditions in the context of project objectives and available resources Fill gaps in understanding with field surveys monitored real time using cloud-based visualization tools Analyze and evaluate field data in context with other data sets to show impact, guide intervention and define strategy Support intervention with cloud-supported applications for desktop, tablet, smartphone and feature phone SMS systems Publish information to the public in support of communication, collaboration, education and extension to drive demand and innovation The awhere solution leverages complete end-to-end information management technology services to ensure the greatest value from all data and that the right insight is delivered to all appropriate participants awhere Inc.

9 Location Intelligence For agriculture, location is not just important, it is the key common attribute of your observations. Location becomes the integration link to context LI leads to integration of many curated data leading to insight Actionable insight at the point of decision. LI delivers the ability to derive and deliver new insight from spatial/temporal data.
