Development of Data and Information M&E System (DIMES)

Development of Data and Information Monitoring & valuation System (DIMES) for Data Collection, Aggregation, Storage, Analysis and Visualization

Planning & Design

The aim is to develop a digital platform for organizations in the development space that will enable real-time data collection, aggregation, monitoring, and analysis of program and project level goals, outcomes, outputs and activities. The architecture will be designed to meet requirements for a centralized, web-based system that enables automated data aggregation, seamless API integration with existing data sources, real-time monitoring and visualization, secure role-based access control, multi-level data hierarchy, and results tracking. The proposed solution incorporates industry best practices in data management, security, scalability, and user experience, while paying particular attention to the sensitive nature of each individual organization’s work.

Design Methodology

The solution comprised several components and some of them were programmed, while others implemented on open-source programs. The language implemented was dictated by its purpose and both administrative and user interfaces were designed using Java and JavaScript Progressive Web App (PWA) to communicate with the backend, and PostgreSQL to retrieve, insert, delete, and update the system. The interfaces were developed using react-based libraries, and then the mobile app developed using react native. The front-end design was easily applied to the entire site to assist in the overall navigation and usability of the dashboard. The application allowed for multiple users to login and interact with the dashboard at the same time.

The key system architecture comprised;

Data Collection Layer (Mobile and offline data collection capabilities)
Data Storage Layer (Secure central database)
Processing Layer (Data validation and quality control, Analytics engine for KPI calculation)
Presentation Layer (Real-time dashboards)
Security Layer (Access control and authentication, Data encryption, Audit trails)
Integration Layer (APIs for third-party systems, Data export/import functionality)
