In Nepal, we work closely with Akvo and use their tools in all our development programmes. After the 2015 earthquake, one of the major challenges was information management. There was no real time data to drive or design intervention strategies. Using Akvo Flow, we collected information on the market situation and people’s needs and mapped the impact of the earthquake. Our data helped many organisations and made our own programme more demand-driven and realistic, so support from stakeholders was high.
