HEIFER INTERNATIONAL
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR AYuTe MONITORING AND EVALUATION DATABASE SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
Heifer International believes that the future of Africa’s agriculture hinges on creating opportunities for young African innovators to transform the agricultural landscape, catalyzing ground-up innovation from young Africans and making agriculture a desired career for the future. The combination of increased funding, visibility and mentorship will provide a new incentive for young, tech-oriented Africans to launch their own bold new agritech businesses and set their sights on joining the league of AYuTe Africa Champions. The AYuTe Africa Challenge is one of the most ambitious agriculture competitions on the continent. We envision combining the power of African youth with the many possibilities of emerging technologies to support smallholder farmers across Africa to grow their businesses and incomes—a transformative force we call AYuTe.
Objective of the Database system
(1) Develop a secure, scalable database that centralizes the management of program indicators, interventions, and partner information, while ensuring compliance with data protection standards, including secure handling of personally identifiable information
(2) Ensure seamless user experience by aligning the system with the AYuTe UI/UX design and providing role-based access for program staff, and partners.
(3) Enable multi-year data tracking and reporting to support longitudinal analysis across the Heifer Africa countries programs, with automated dashboards and reporting for real-time insights and trend analysis.
(4) Standardize and streamline data collection by increasing efficiency and accuracy in data compilation, cleaning, and reporting, reducing reliance on fragmented Excel files and manual consolidation, and ensuring digital data collection is consistent across programs and partners.
(5) Improve data quality and integrity through built-in validation rules, automated checks, and maintaining audit trails and activity logs for transparency and accountability.
(6) Facilitate integration and scalability by providing APIs for external data sources and reporting tools, ensuring cloud hosting with scalability for future program expansion, and enabling flexible export options such as Excel, CSV, and PDF.
