Context
A territorial governance body in West Africa wanted to move from managing its local development plan with fragmented Excel files to a shared web platform guaranteeing the quality and traceability of data produced by multiple sectoral actors.
Challenge
Designing a participatory certification workflow adapted to sectoral focal points with limited digital literacy, while ensuring the rigour of published data: structured collection, automated quality controls and a tamper-proof audit trail.
Approach
- 013 distinct access profiles (Admin / Editor / Reader) with RLS ensuring data isolation.
- 02Structured annual campaigns: collection windows, automated reminders, close-out and archiving.
- 03Automated quality controls on entry: value ranges, cross-indicator consistency checks, duplicate detection.
- 04Participatory certification: sequential validation by sectoral focal points before publication.
- 05Complete audit log: full traceability of every change with timestamp and author identification.
- 06Responsive interface adapted to field connectivity constraints.
Results
First version tested with sectoral focal points. Feedback enabled refinement of the certification workflow and the data entry interface. Full deployment under way.
