Software for NGOs: data platforms your programs and donors can trust.

Built for how development programs actually work

NGO systems live or die on reporting. Donors want indicators, country offices want dashboards, field teams want forms that work offline on a mid-range Android phone. We design for all three: structured data collection, role-based access for programs and partners, and exports your M&E officer can drop straight into a donor report.

• Data collection and M&E platforms with indicator dashboards
• Beneficiary registries with privacy-by-design
• Program and organisational websites that pass donor due diligence
• Research data platforms for studies and evaluations

Data protection is not optional in this sector

Development organisations hold sensitive personal data - often about children and vulnerable people. Systems we build apply Uganda's Data Protection and Privacy Act requirements and GDPR-aware practice: consent capture, data minimisation, encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access and documented retention. When your donor's compliance team asks, the answers exist in writing - and when a data protection officer or an external audit reviews the system, the access logs, retention schedule and consent records are there to show, not to reconstruct.

Experience you can verify

We built the NGO Bureau national platform that tracks 15,000+ organisations, the DDRA clinical screening system operating in 32+ hospitals across 12 countries with 98% detection accuracy, and digital platforms for research organisations including AfriChild and CivSource Africa. RFP-friendly: we respond with a written technical approach, itemised budget and delivery timeline, and we are comfortable with committee evaluation cycles and grant-funded payment schedules.

Budgets that match how NGOs buy

Program websites start at $3,000, data platforms and M&E systems typically run $8,000 to $30,000 depending on scope, and ongoing support retainers start at $1,500 per month. Grant cycles understood: we can phase delivery to match disbursement schedules, and quotes are written so they can go directly into a funding proposal.

From paper forms to a working platform

A typical engagement starts with your existing reality: Excel trackers, paper forms, a KoBo deployment that outgrew itself. In discovery we map every indicator you report against, who collects what and where connectivity breaks down. Design turns that into screens your field teams review before a line of code is written. The build delivers in weekly increments - collection first, then dashboards, then exports - so enumerators are entering real data while reporting features are still landing. By the time the donor's reporting deadline arrives, the numbers come out of a system, not a late night of spreadsheet reconciliation.

Common questions

Can you respond to our RFP?

Yes. We regularly respond to formal RFPs with a written technical approach, itemised budget, timeline and references, and we are comfortable with evaluation committees and grant-funded procurement.

Do your systems work offline in the field?

Where field connectivity is unreliable we build offline-capable collection that syncs when a connection returns - designed and tested for mid-range Android devices.

How do you handle sensitive beneficiary data?

Privacy by design: consent capture, minimisation, encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, audit logs and documented retention, aligned with Uganda's DPPA and GDPR-aware practice.

Can you migrate our existing Excel or KoBo data?

Yes - most NGO platform projects begin with a migration. We clean and import your existing trackers, forms and historical records so reporting continuity survives the switch, and we validate migrated totals against your old reports before go-live.

What does ongoing support cost?

Support retainers start at $1,500 per month and cover maintenance, security monitoring, new features and priority response. Smaller organisations can opt for scheduled quarterly maintenance instead.
