Development of an information management system for RESILAC, with CartONG

22/11/2019

As part of the RESILAC project, CartONG is providing Groupe URD with support by designing and setting up an information management system. During an initial pilot phase, the objective of the collaboration is to support the design and implementation of an information management system in a limited number of project sites. The relevance of the mechanism will then be assessed before considering whether or not to extend it to the project as a whole.

CartONG trained experts from Groupe URD’s permanent team to carry out an assessment of information management in 3 of the 4 operational countries (Chad, Cameroon and Nigeria). The assessment included semi-structured interviews, collaborative workshops to map the flow of data, the observation of practices and a self-administered questionnaire to evaluate competencies.

In keeping with the main recommendations that emerged from the assessment, Groupe URD will be supported by CartONG, and will focus on designing a minimal information management framework for the consortium, developing a ‘data culture’ in order to establish a centralised data management approach and allow the main data to be consolidated visually in a dashboard to help steer the project.
