D2D - Akvo Software Tools Mobilising Data for Sustainable Development The D2D Akvo Software tools is one of the 9 child-projects of the Akvo Data to Decision project.

Akvo is promoting a sustainable, collaborative approach to solving development issues. We work hard to ensure our systems are being maintained, continuously improved and become well supported and embedded within partner organisations, leading to greater long-term benefits and high levels of sustainability. Over recent years, we have further improved existing and developed new open source tools that we will use in this program to support partners and national governments, to monitor and provide WASH services sustainably at scale.

Continuous maintenance and development of software is costly, and by sharing investment and improvements openly amongst our global partner network, we are able to sustainably provide services to our partners for a low fee. We believe this is vital, because our partners depend on this infrastructure and should be confident that the long-term investments to maintain and continuously improve the systems are secured.

Within the D2D Akvo Software tools project, we will focus on further developing and professionalising our set of tools, consisting of: 
* Akvo Flow
* Akvo Caddisfly
* Akvo Lumen
* Akvo RSR
* Akvopedia
With a specific focus on ensuring we connect our tools best to our partners and build capacity to make best use of the tools. A1 To continuously maintain and improve Flow so it can be used to monitor infrastructure and WASH services
B1 To continue to improve Caddisfly by adding new water quality parameters.
B2 To roll out smarthphone based water quality monitoring in Africa and Asia.

D2D - Sustaining and scaling - South Asia hub Mobilising Data for Sustainable Development The D2D Sustaining and scaling - South East Asia hub project is one of the 9 child-projects of the Akvo Data to Decision project.

Akvo supports a vast network of partners across East and West Africa, South and South East Asia, South America and the Pacific. Building on our experience in the WASH sector, we have commenced work across a range of new sectors, including sustainable agriculture, disaster response and climate change adaptation. The rapid expansion into new countries and sectors has delivered valuable lessons for improving our approach further. However, it takes time and resources to establish new partnerships and leverage the opportunities we are presented with.

The D2D activities of Akvo's South Asia hub (offices in India and Nepal) will focus on two countries, Bangladesh and Nepal:
* In Bangladesh, Akvo will focus on capacity building with NGOs and governments to help Bangladesh achieve the SDGs, especially SDG6 on WASH. Akvo will promote and support establishing a comprehensive dataset of water sources and mapping vulnerabilities. Focus will be on cities, small towns, school WASH and menstrual hygiene management.
* In Nepal, similar to in Bangladesh, Akvo will focus on capacity building with NGOs and governments to help Nepal achieve the SDGs, focusing on water quality in the Terai region; water availability in the mountainous regions and WASH services in cities and in schools. A1 To deepen our engagement with NGO partners
A2 To build PMEL capacities of government and non-government partners.
A3 To develop new partnerships with different government departments
A4 To train partners to glean insights from data and help them make informed decisions. 
B1 To train partners in the Terai region on water quality monitoring
B2 To train partners in the mountainous regions to collect data on water availability in springs and other groundwater sources
B3 To work with partners on measuring WASH services in key cities of Nepal. 
B4 To work with partners on monitoring the sustainability of school WASH facilities in rural and urban areas of Nepal
B5 To contribute substantively towards a “data-driven decision” discourse for Nepal’s WASH sector.
D2D - Akvo Partner Services Mobilising Data for Sustainable Development The D2D Akvo Partner Services is one of the 9 child-projects of the Akvo Data to Decision project.

There is a pressing need for data and evidence to enable better monitoring and evaluation of development results. Understanding project processes and assessing project deliverables helps organisations, governments and other stakeholders learn and increase their accountability, effectiveness and efficiency. Many organisations and governments involved in international development however do not have the resources and capacity needed to design representative data collection schemes, or clean, analyse and use data associated with their work. Further, data is often collected using inconsistent methodologies and located in fragmented sources, which do not integrate well with existing government systems. A lot of data is being collected, but often not used. As a result, learning from data has become a low priority and there is a growing feeling of data fatigue across the international development sector.

To address these issues, Akvo offers services in close connection to its tools. The D2D Akvo Partner Services project consists of the following elements:
* Professionalise combined trainings on tools and services.
* Professionalise and extend the Akvo programme support and helpdesk.
* Further develop and professionalise Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (PMEL) services and offer these to our partners.
* Develop and professionalise Data Science services and offer these to our partners.
* To develop a WASH survey library, within the Akvopedia portal.
* To investigate and develop good ways of getting data back to the communities where the data was collected. A1 To provide training and support to ensure our WASH partners accross the globe have the knowledge, experience and confidence to take ownership for their data quality, ensuring greater sustainability and better long-term outcomes
B1 To provide troubleshooting and technical backstopping to all partners during this program by maintaining a 24/5 helpdesk
C1 To further develop and professionalise tailor-made planning, monitoring, evaluation and learning (PMEL) methods and offer these services to our partners to enable them to collect relevant quality data that they can use to improve the effectiveness of their wash interventions.
D1 To facilitate and support data science processes with our partners
E1 To develop a WASH survey library within Akvopedia
E2 In cooperation with WHO (JMP), to include a standardized survey library for WASH SDG monitoring
F1 To investigate and develop good ways of getting data back to communities
F2 To stimulate the creation of local data collection initiatives.
G4AW Satellite4Business, Ghana Agricultural advise, market information, and access to finance provided to cocoa and palm-oil farmers in Ghana **Sat4Business will support over 140.000 Ghanaian cocoa and palm-oil farmers to increase their food production, income, and job creation with the establishment of Sat4Business information products and credit support services. Farmers will receive information on market prices, weather, agricultural and agronomic tips, as well as get access to financial services such as pensions, insurances, and loans.**

Ghana is the world’s 2nd largest producer of cocoa globally. The Sat4Business project area constitutes about 90% of cocoa produced in Ghana (COCOBOD, 2015/16 production data) and accounts for about 86% of oil palm planted in the country. This is an indication of favourable climatic conditions for these crops, and how relevant improving the productivity in these regions will positively influence the national production levels.
