Overview

A project in 2015 investigated limitations and strengths of commercially available digital applications that projects use to collect data and for monitoring and evaluation (GMCP/2015/016 - 'Assessment of digital data collection applications (DDCAs) to support ACIAR's M&E') (MAD pilot).

This Small Research Activity aimed to determine the level of capacity building and other considerations necessary to implement DDCAs. It evaluated how four core ACIAR research projects would adopt and roll out apps, and develop and test app adoption advocacy and scale out models to promote the use of apps amongst the ACIAR research community.

The objective of GMCP/2016/004 - MAD 2 was to evaluate the adoption and roll out of MAD apps across four core ACIAR research projects. In addition to this, a second objective was to develop and test various app adoption advocacy and scale out models to promote the use of apps more broadly amongst the ACIAR research community.
