One connected workflow

Collect a result. Review it. Report the approved figure.

See who submitted the figure, who reviewed it and which project and reporting period it belongs to.

  1. The project’s MEAL lead

    Opens a collection link for one indicator and period.

  2. A field enumerator or partner

    Submits the value through the link.

  3. A reviewer with approval access to the project

    Reads the submitted value beside the recorded actual, then approves or rejects it.

  4. The system, on approval only

    Writes the approved value into the indicator actual for that project, indicator and period.

  5. Programme and MEAL reporting

    Reads the rollup across the project’s indicators.

Questions we get a lot

FAQ.

How is EMPOBase different from existing tools?

EMPOBase brings project planning, MEAL, people, finance, logistics and organizational records into one workspace. Use the workflow pages to review how records connect, where a separate approval or manual handoff is needed, and whether the available tools fit your team.

Can I move my existing field-data forms in?

The pricing comparison lists manual field-data import for Starter and Team, and automated import for Pro and Enterprise. Review a sample export with us before planning a migration; confirm supported formats, field mapping and historical-data handling for your deployment.

What languages?

All plans, including Free, include nine interface languages: English, Myanmar, Arabic, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Indonesian, Swahili and Russian. Translation coverage varies by screen, and some content appears in English. Website pages, guides, sample screens and AI answers have separate language coverage. Review the workflows your team needs with us.

Where is the data stored?

Google Cloud (Singapore). Enterprise can run on an instance dedicated to one organization; pinning data to a specific region (e.g. EU residency) is on our roadmap.

Can I get a dedicated instance?

Yes — that is the Enterprise tier. A deployment dedicated to one organization, your own URL, single sign-on that we provision for you under the agreement (it is not self-serve), your own AI provider key, and a custom DPA. (Pinning data to a specific region is on our roadmap.)

Who is EMPO?

EMPO Training & Consultancy Services is the organization behind EMPOBase. EMPO provides training, consultancy and digital services; EMPOBase is its software product. See About for the distinction between the services and the product.
