About the Trainer and ActivityInfo

Mr. Alexander Bertram, Executive Director of BeDataDriven and founder of ActivityInfo, is a graduate of the American University's School of International Service and started his career in international assistance fifteen years ago working with IOM in Kunduz, Afghanistan and later worked as an Information Management officer with UNICEF in DR Congo. With UNICEF, frustrated with the time required to build data collection systems for each new programme, he worked on the team that developed ActivityInfo, a simplified platform for M&E data collection. In 2010, he left UNICEF to start BeDataDriven and develop ActivityInfo full time. Since then, he has worked with organizations in more than 100 countries to deploy ActivityInfo for monitoring & evaluation.

ActivityInfo is an information management platform perfect for monitoring and evaluation, humanitarian coordination and case management. For more than a decade, the ActivityInfo team has been supporting humanitarian operations and development programmes worldwide catering for emerging needs for data collection and analysis. UN agencies, INGOS and NGOs use the platform to centralize and standardize data collection, display the impact of their activities while maintaining complete control on data access and changes. Originally developed for UNICEF’s emergency program in eastern DRC, ActivityInfo is a service provided by BeDataDriven a company based in The Hague, Netherlands.
