The Challenge
The W+ Standard is a certification label developed by WOCAN (Women Organizing for Change in Agriculture and Natural Resource Management) to endorse projects that substantiate social and economic benefits for women participating in economic development or environment projects. WOCAN intended to use the services of ‘Trackbee’ for managing the data collection process and analyzing W+ credits.

We customized the Trackbee survey application based on the requirements of the W+ projects and developed a separate android mobile app to calculate the W+ score using several formulae. We also customized the backend dashboard to analyze the W+ credit. After completion of the project, we trained both the clients and their enumerators on how to use this newly developed system to conduct surveys.

The Result
WOCAN now measures economic or environmental development of its projects; the criteria for which include income and assets, time, education, knowledge, leadership, food security and health. The organization, after monitoring and measuring the outcome, assigns W+ credits. Using the new system they can now dynamically calculate the W+ credit based on the response collected.
