9th KENYA NATIONAL M&E CONFERENCE
Geo-Enabling initiative for Monitoring and Supervision (GEMS)
Benard Mitto | 18th May, 2021
Offered by the World Bank’s Fragility, Conflict and Violence Group in cooperation with GOSTSupported by the Korea Trust Fund for Economic and Peacebuilding Transitions
GEMS capacity-building provided by the FCV Group, Operations Support Unit (GTFOS). For questions, contact Bernhard Metz ([email protected])
• Simple and versatile for customized real-time M&E• Focus on capacity-building among clients & Bank staff• Examples: GEMS initiative implemented with 450
projects in 45 countries. Vast use in C-19 response• Caveats: Counterparts on the ground required
Digital real-time M&E via mobile ICT
• Access to reliable data in inaccessible areas• Examples: Remote supervision of the reconstruction
of Konna Port in Central Mali; DNAs in Iraq & Yemen• Caveats: Technical limitations and often high cost;
legal & reputational risks for use of drones in FCV
Remote sensing via satellites (& UAVs/drones)
• Complements ICT for fiduciary in in high-risk contexts• Global TPM Review available to TTLs since Feb. 2020• Examples: Multi-year use for fiduciary and procurement
monitoring, in Afghanistan, Cameroon, Iraq, Yemen, etc.• Caveats: High costs and often complex contracting
Third-Party Monitoring/Execution (TPM/E)
• Identification of large-scale patterns and tensions• Examples: Social Media Monitoring of ops impact in
DRC; mobility analyses via call detail records in Haiti• Caveats: Often limited data access & representative-
ness; high costs and reliance on external firms
Big Data analysis and Artificial Intelligence
• Collection of quick feedback from local communities• Examples: Iterative Beneficiary Monitoring (IBM) in Sahel;
remote poverty surveys in Somalia, South Sudan, etc.• Caveats: Often complex rollout and potential sampling
issues given reliance on beneficiary phone numbers
Phone-based beneficiary surveys
• Databases for enhanced programming & coordination• Transparency tool and baseline for impact evaluation • Examples: Granular mapping of >100,000 sub-project
implementation sites in 20 countries in AFR via GEMS• Caveats: Reliance on local stakeholders to collect data
Geo-mapping of activities and portfolios
GEMS+ & ICT4FCV: Applied Technology Solutions for FCV and the COVID response
Core of support directly provided by GEMS to clients Support provided GEMS through cooperation with internal and external partners
GEMS systematically builds client capacity in the creation of customized digital M&E systems. This is based on the use of cost-free open source tools and hand-held devices (smartphones/tablets) to collect granular geo-tagged data that automatically feeds into interactive dashboards and web maps.
The aim is to contribute to effective planning, real-time M&E, remote supervision, accountable TPM & geo-mapping of projects and provide Data Integrity along the project cycle.
The ‘Pocket Science’: Definition of the GEMS method
The used platform KoBoToolbox: • Combines all relevant data related to operations, components, and field activities. • Centralizes all collected data in one integrated system, connected to the M&E framework.• Provides data in various formats incl. tables, text, photos, videos, audio, and maps.• Allows for systematic recording of project indicators and survey responses to strengthen
project planning implementation, risk assessments, and coordination across operations.• Enables Bank Teams to directly access project data from PIUs in real-time.
Mirror your data in real-time across stakeholders
All-in-one cost-free open source tool: KoBo Toolbox – what it does
• Same contents as in-country trainings, but condensed
• Offered to CMU/GP/Project Focal Points (FPs) and clients
• Training delivered remotely over 8-10 hours, split into 2-3 days with days in between and “homework” assignments
• Training to cover all the technical skills needed for FPs to create and administrate customized digital monitoring systems
➢ GEMS team supports FPs in finding the best ways of deploying system based on local conditions and sector needs
➢ System is deployed with FPs leading the content aspects and take full ownership of the system
