You didn't have to build this
235 indicators, pre-loaded.
Most humanitarian platforms hand you a framework and a blank slate. EMPOBase ships with the framework already populated — the modules wired, the indicators loaded, the templates aligned to PCM, CHS and Sphere.
235
Humanitarian indicators
WASH, Health, Education, Protection, Food Security, Livelihoods, Shelter, Nutrition. Each with documented numerator, denominator, frequency and disaggregation.
9
Portal modules, pre-wired
HR · Finance · Programs · MEAL · Documents · Governance · Logistics · Donors · Field reporting. They already know about each other.
1 day
To onboard a country office
Compared with the 2–8 weeks you'd spend modelling, importing, training and resetting permissions on a blank-slate tool.
MEAL
MEAL without the spreadsheet sprawl
A 235-indicator humanitarian library, results frameworks per project, and dashboards that update as field data lands. You stop maintaining sixteen overlapping spreadsheets and start reading them.
- 235 pre-loaded humanitarian indicators across 8 sectors
- Results framework + log frame in one place, with traceability
- Live dashboards filtered by camp, district, partner, donor

HR built for field staff
A staff directory that knows the difference between a national officer in Bago and a regional consultant in Bangkok. Leave config, compensation, attendance and safeguarding declarations live where they belong.
- Staff directory with role, duty station, line manager, contract end
- Leave configuration per location, with public holiday calendars
- Safeguarding declarations as a renewable record, not a one-time PDF

Why EMPOBase
Stop running four tools that don't talk.
Humanitarian point tools are excellent at one workflow. Generic business software is excellent at one function across any sector. Most country offices end up running four or five of them — M&E in one place, books in another, dashboards somewhere else, project plans in a fourth tool. EMPOBase ships them together, pre-loaded with humanitarian context, ready to run on day one.

| Built around field operations (camps, districts, partners, donors) | Yes — humanitarian-native | Yes | No — built for offices |
| Offline-first field reporting | Yes — 6 report types (SitRep, Activity, MEAL, etc.) | Yes (one type) | No |
| Pricing aligned to humanitarian budgets | $29 / month entry, multi-tenant from day one | $69+ / month entry, often per-seat | Per-seat $15–50 / user / month, scales fast |
| Bilingual EN + local language by default | EN + MY today, FR / ES / PT next | Variable, often EN-only | English-default, localisation as add-on |
| Time to first usable dashboard | 1 day | 2–8 weeks | 1–3 months (setup + data modelling) |

Questions we get a lot
FAQ.
How is EMPOBase different from existing tools?
We replace the patchwork. Humanitarian point tools (M&E platforms, field data collection) handle one workflow well. Generic business software (accounting, BI, project management) handles one function across any sector. Most country offices end up running four or five separate tools that do not talk to each other. EMPOBase ships HR, Finance, MEAL, Programs, Documents, Governance, Logistics, Donors and a 6-type field-reporting suite as one tenant — pre-loaded with 235 humanitarian indicators and the full Project DPro toolkit. You spend the first day configuring your country office, not the first quarter wiring tools together.
Can I move my existing KoboToolbox forms in?
Yes. From the Team tier upward, you can import Kobo XLSForm definitions and field submissions. We map your existing question codes to our indicator library so your historical data stays attached to its indicators.
What languages?
English and Burmese are live today. French, Spanish and Portuguese are on the Phase 2 roadmap, in that order. Arabic is being scoped for Phase 3 — talk to us if you need it sooner.
Where is the data stored?
Google Cloud (asia-southeast1 — Singapore) by default. Enterprise customers can pick a different region or run on a dedicated instance with negotiated data-residency terms in the DPA.
Can I get a dedicated instance?
Yes — that is the Enterprise tier. Dedicated single-tenant deployment, your own URL, SSO, BYOK encryption, custom DPA. It also unlocks the ability to keep data in a region of your choice.
Who is EMPO?
EMPO Training & Consultancy Services is the parent organisation behind EMPOBase. EMPO trains humanitarian and development teams in PCM, CHS and MEAL in Myanmar, founded in 2025. EMPOBase is the productisation of the portal we built running our own and partner NGOs.
