Call for Action: Data Driven Development!

Jon F. Kapp, Executive Director, Community Systems Foundation

Sustainable development is not easy. And the Sustainable Development Goals are ambitious.  To be successful, one requires strong and clear plans, deep partnerships, and accountable organizations.  
​
Community Systems Foundation has worked in over 130 countries in the past 50 years and have seen governments, civil society organizations and development partners struggling with the same challenges:

• Well intended, but poor quality plans
• Limited information to monitor progress towards those plans
• Weak or non-existent platforms to collaborate and report on successes and gaps in achievement. ​

​We strongly believe that technology can make a positive impact.  We are asking for your help to make this a reality.

Since 2004, we have developed tools to support better planning, monitoring and reporting on development plans.  

We call it DFA Monitoring  - a solution in a toolkit of open-source tools within an initiative called Data For All.

We are raising funds to refine these tools and get them in the hands of those that need them most.
​
Sincere thanks,
Jon Kapp
