The African Development Bank and the government of Lesotho have jointly launched an innovative state-of-the-art initiative which uses the power of information and communications technology (ICT) to collect project data remotely in digital formats directly from the field. The Remote Appraisal, Supervision, Monitoring and Evaluation (RASME) project is transforming operations through project data collection and analysis across the Bank’s regional country members.
RASME is deployed through a collaborative implementation process with the government and other development partners. The deployment of RASME is driven by the Bank’s Corporate IT department (TCIS) by leading the technical exchanges with the World Bank’s GEMS and Kobo Toolbox teams and conducting step by step the deployment over the Africa’s countries.
