AVANSE staff collect a lot of data in the field. These data form patterns and are used in a live reporting mechanism that helps guide decision making on the project.
The objective is to produce informative data and reports automatically derived from raw data input
Four major project activities generate data that feed into a data management system
The data management system converts raw activity data into actionable information
Regular data cleaning is an important part of the process
Farmer profile pages hold all touch-points between the project and the farmer
Easily retrieveable data on individual farmers and all the live data associated with each one helps the AVANSE team get a complete picture of a single farmer, and to do data-quality spot checks
Live data visualizations show the rhythm of project activities
These tools also let us zoom into a shorter time-span to see detail
A system wide dashboard shows raw totals and live charts by value chain, gender, and the number of new producers per month. The key is that none of the data visualizations require man-hours to make because all are live reflections of the data in the system
Individual farmer activity is great, but sometimes we need to search by time, place, and value chain to see everything that is happening among all producers
Data quality is actively managed. Users are prevented from registering farmers that already exist in the system
