Unlock your Monitoring and Evaluation Potential

Lenka Dobias-Cerna – Independent Evaluator

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.

[ADRA Laos] has been using Kinaki for a number of years. It’s dynamic, user-friendly, and great for calculating indicators and generating reports; we find it particularly helpful for comparative analysis. Using Kinaki has saved a lot of time compared to using Excel for storing and analyzing project data. A great benefit of Kinaki is the data is available to refer to at any time, this allows us to do different or more in-depth analyses depending on what information we’re looking for. I recommend Kinaki to organizations wanting to really dig into their projects’ data.

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.
