ANNUAL REPORT 2018Data-Driven Sustainable Development for All
C S F Community Systems Foundation
From the President’s Desk
How can DFA build on disruptive technology to monitor national
development priorities? Disruptive innovations are significantly changing the way in which we
interact with one another. These technologies force us to challenge our
standard operating procedures and alter our approaches to problem
solving. Mobile technology is rapidly changing the implementation of
national development programmes by connecting civil society to
government administration. The Internet of Things is disrupting
business-as-usual by automating service delivery in health, education,
manufacturing and other sectors. Artificial intelligence is now beginning
to imitate the cognitive functions of the human brain in learning and
solving problems. Predictive analytics exploits patterns found in
historical and transactional data to identify risks and opportunities. Blockchain enables the exchange of value without powerful
intermediaries acting as arbiters of money and information. Results-
based financing is being used to leverage blockchain technology to
trigger cash transfers when verified milestones are met. Big data uses
ambient data from thousands of new data sources to spot
socioeconomic trends, prevent diseases, combat poverty, and guide
policy formulation.

OVERVIEW | 2018
COMMUNITY SYSTEMS FOUNDATION | ANNUAL REPORT
CSF is a non-profit organization applying information technology for sustainable development
We are engaging with communities in the debate to rethink development. We are striving to
expand options by building capacities in ways that lead to good development outcomes
sustained by responsible development processes. We are increasing people’s choices
through innovations that harness the power of data to benefit communities economically,
socially, and environmentally.
OVERVIEW | 2018
COMMUNITY SYSTEMS FOUNDATION | ANNUAL REPORT
Reforming systems to bring decision-making closer to
communitiesUN Info is an online monitoring system to assist in the planning,
monitoring and reporting of United Nations Sustainable
Development Framework (UNSDF) implementation. The purpose
of the system is to increase UN agency collaboration and
harmonize work around national development priorities. It makes
it easier to discover, analyse and visualize meaningful programme
and business operations data, with the ultimate goal of improving
planning, policy formulation, monitoring progress against the
SDGs and decision-‐making.
In 2018 we strengthened our partnerships in the field in
implementing these data-driven strategies. This year, we passed
the $56 million milestone in dollars invested in CSF projects. CSF
has successfully implemented over 1650 data-driven projects.

CAPTURE
Tools to capture data from surveys,
administrative systems and real-time SMS
polling.
MANAGE
Tools to transform micro-data to indicators,
standardise indicator metadata, and load data into a data warehouse.
ANALYZE
Tools to visualise data in graphs, tables and maps. Options to
disseminate data in public dashboards and
data profiles at the subnational level.
STRATEGIZE
Tools to plan and monitor development
strategies to reach the most vulnerable with
high quality, sustainable services.
DFA is a platform of open source software tools for monitoring national development priorities including the
Sustainable Development Goals.
DFA promotes interoperability within the ecosystem of socioeconomic statistics by complying with international standards. It is easy to exchange data between the loosely-
coupled modules of the platform.
DFA accelerates UN reform with better data for better decisions.
CSF has developed powerful data-driven systems using the new DFA
toolkit, such as, UN Info, EQUIST, and OpenEMIS. These innovations
are helping allocate resource and target interventions to reach the
most vulnerable first.

Monitoring National Development
PrioritiesRegular reporting provides transparency on
progress against development priorities.
Applied international standards (IATI) facilitate
reporting of financial resources and expenditure.
Activity level tracking allows for coordinated
collaboration between all development partners:
gov’t, civil society, private sector, and
development partners. Custom dashboards allow
tailored reporting on development progress.

Monitoring Institutional Development Priorities
Applying eHealth Technology to
Save LivesCSF’s technical partner Avalon Information
Systems is supporting Project ASMAN -
Alliance for Saving Mothers and Newborns.
ASMAN is a partnership between the Reliance
Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,
MSD for Mothers, Tata Trusts and USAID.
The project aims to facilitate the availability of
quality healthcare under the five pillars of the
Government of India’s Reproductive,
Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent
Health Programme (RMNCH+A).
This project is an example of how CSF
empowers its Technology Partners to respond
to community needs, and how this innovative
technology may lead to opportunities to be
applied in other contexts around the globe.
Data Analytics is aKey Driver in
Educational Policy Reform
Education planners and data analysts are seeking
to deliver high quality education through data
analytics.
OpenEMIS helps capture and analyse data on
institutions, students, and teachers.
The data dashboards generated by the system
help guide teachers, principals, and education
system administrators to better understand how to
utilize education data for decision-making and
policy reform.

Total Programme Budget 1995-2018: $56,318,010 When we started CSF we made a bold promise
to keep our operations lean and efficient to ensure
our donor funding would go directly to the field
