Cordaid’s Akvo RSR workshop in Ethiopia
May 21st, 2013 by Charlotte Soedjak
Early this year Cordaid’s new website went live. The site unites Akvo RSR with Cordaid’s own project management syste. The first 139 projects of Cordaid’s total portfolio, which numbers a few thousand projects, are now visible online with the help of Akvo RSR. For Cordaid this is a first and significant step in opening up information about the work they do. But to actually bring to life what’s happening on the ground, it is important that their field staff and partners start communicating about project progress.
Akvo RSR workshops aim to train partners in the use of the RSR platform and reporting on project progress, challenges, milestones and anything else that helps those interested understand what’s happening or what’s not happening, and why.

Akvo Track Day – What, why, how?
May 14th, 2013 by Mark Charmer
It’s just 10 days until the first international edition of the Akvo Track Day. Here Sebastian Wafula talks with Akvo’s Luuk Diphoorn and Mark Charmer, at Akvo’s East Africa hub in Nairobi.
Sebastian Wafula: Imagine I’m a six year old. What is Akvo Track Day?
Luuk Diphoorn: It’s a place where people come together who use cool technology to make their work better, and to share experiences with each other. They all work in the field of trying to make the world a better place, and trying to help improve the lives of people. They have a common purpose but they do it in different ways.
SW: So, for a six year old, Akvo Track Day is a day when people from far distant places come together to share ways that technology – especially gadgets and gizmos – are making their lives just a bit better? While they work hard to make other people’s lives better.
Mark Charmer: Yes! We need to learn to explain it like that too.
