Unlock your Monitoring and Evaluation Potential

Natalie Zend – ZENDialogue and Mosaic.net International Inc.

We were running the Results Based Management and Theory of Change course online during COVID for the first time and wanted to showcase a way of learning and working remotely that could be of value to participants after the course. We specifically wanted to showcase Kinaki because it’s made in Canada, designed for international development practitioners, supports people and organizations through the whole programming cycle, and the project design tools relevant to our workshop are free.

Before offering the course online, we had people work with cards on the wall to create Logic Models and Performance Measurement Frameworks for a case study project. The challenge Kinaki helped us to solve was how to support participants to do those exercises virtually.

I would recommend Kinaki to international development organizations looking for an app to support MEL throughout the project cycle, from design to monitoring to evaluation, and including data collection, analysis and reporting.

For us, the best thing about Kinaki is that it serves as a central data repository between ourselves, the implementing partner, the donor, and any consultants we use. This greatly increases the transparency, accountability, and communication between all parties involved. Kinaki’s reporting feature allows us to have consistent reporting year after year and significantly reduces the amount of time involved in calculating performance management indicators.

I used Kinaki with my team to evaluate a $2.6 million dollar project funded by Global Affairs Canada in Rwanda. Having data in one place, easily accessible and understandable, helped us greatly in the preparation phase and served as a valuable basis for further research in the field during the evaluation. We used Kinaki also for the baseline and endline surveys comparison analysis. Kinaki was very easy to learn and use, and served as a professional tool.
