In the development and humanitarian space, timely access to accurate data is essential for internal operations and ensuring accountability, donor satisfaction, and long-term impact. For NGOs operating across Africa, managing projects without real-time insights often leads to delays, inefficiencies, and missed opportunities.
PahappaM&E is a smart monitoring and evaluation system designed for African NGOs. With powerful tools that centralize, standardize, and simplify monitoring and evaluation, this M&E software transforms data into a strategic asset—unlocking smarter, faster, and more informed decision-making.

- Inaccurate reporting to donors
- Low responsiveness to issues in the field
