PROJECT MONITORING

Mouwejih

Closing the gap between what's happening on the ground and what decision-makers know—real-time project monitoring and evaluation.

The Challenge

Picture a well in a remote village. A development organization spent €200,000 to build it three years ago. According to the quarterly reports, it's working fine. The project documents say "water access improved for 1,500 people."

The well broke eighteen months ago. The village went back to walking three hours for water.

Nobody knows. The next scheduled site visit isn't for six months. By then, the organization will have moved on to other projects. The broken well will become a statistic in an evaluation report: "Infrastructure maintenance remains a challenge."

Meanwhile, women walk six hours daily for water their children need to survive.

This story repeats across development projects everywhere. Not because people don't care—they do, deeply. But because monitoring is hard, expensive, and slow. Site visits are costly. Reports are manual. Problems hide between quarterly check-ins. And by the time anyone notices something's wrong, months of impact have been lost.

For climate adaptation projects, this delay can be catastrophic. When a coastal protection system fails, communities need to know immediately, not in the next quarterly report. When a reforestation project's trees are dying, intervention needs to happen in weeks, not months.

The gap between what's happening on the ground and what decision-makers know is where development impact goes to die.

What We're Building

Mouwejih is designed to close that gap.

The vision is simple: What if project managers could see what's happening in real-time? What if a broken well triggered an alert the day it stopped working? What if a funding organization could verify progress without waiting months for reports? What if problems were caught when they're still fixable?

We're building Mouwejih to bring transparency and speed to development project monitoring. The goal is to help good projects work better and catch failing projects before they waste resources and betray communities.

The system is designed to combine information from multiple sources—field reports, photographs, satellite imagery, financial data—into a clear picture of what's actually happening. Not what we hope is happening. Not what reports say is happening. What's really happening.

For Project Managers

Visibility into implementation without constant travel

For Funders

Verification of progress without invasive oversight

For Communities

Faster response when things go wrong

Why This Matters for Climate Projects

Climate adaptation projects have particular monitoring challenges. Physical infrastructure—seawalls, water systems, reforestation sites—needs verification across large geographic areas. Environmental changes happen continuously and need ongoing tracking. Community vulnerability evolves in response to climate shocks and needs to be measured longitudinally.

Traditional monitoring, with its quarterly visits and annual evaluations, moves too slowly. Climate doesn't wait for reporting cycles.

Mouwejih is designed to help climate projects move at the speed problems actually develop.

Better Monitoring, Better Outcomes

This isn't about surveillance or mistrust. It's about learning faster. When something works, we need to understand why so we can replicate it. When something fails, we need to know immediately so we can fix it or cut losses.

Development has limited resources and unlimited needs. Every dollar wasted on an unmonitored failing project is a dollar that could have gone to something effective. Better monitoring means better allocation, faster learning, and ultimately more impact per dollar invested.

IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT

Mouwejih is in active development. We're building the platform to meet the monitoring and evaluation requirements of major development organizations and preparing it for deployment with projects in Mauritania.
