Between May 2024 and March 2025 in Colombia, the Alliance of Bioversity–CIAT implemented a digital monitoring and evaluation platform for the Climate-Smart Initiatives for Climate-Change Adaptation and Sustainability in Prioritized Agricultural Production Systems in Colombia (CSICAP, in Spanish) initiative to address fragmented, paper-based data systems across multi-partner projects. Designed around impact evaluation requirements and built on ODK Collect and FormShare, the system standardized monitoring across research and implementation partners, enabling real-time data capture, accurate beneficiary tracking, and evidence-based project management while strengthening institutional accountability and decision-making.
