FieldSight
is a technological platform developed by UNOPS in partnership with Nepal
Innovation Lab and Miyamoto Relief that supports remote supervision and
monitoring in order to improve quality and reduce risk on construction,
humanitarian, and development projects. Through the delivery of educational
guides, the creation and deployment of customized field assessments, and the
ability to provide targeted feedback to specific sites and issues, FieldSight
facilitates ongoing engagement between central offices and field sites,
enabling monitoring, quality assurance, coaching, and capacity building. At the
same time, by creating a central repository for data from multiple sites and
projects, FieldSight also helps organizations to review progress across
projects, regions, and countries. Targeted at organizations in the development
and humanitarian sectors, FieldSight is an open-source platform that anyone can
use to improve quality and project delivery.
Over
the past year, FieldSight has been developed, released, and pilot-tested on
projects throughout Nepal. In the coming year, FieldSight will be reviewing the
pilot tests and will be updating the platform based on feedback and experience
from its use. With an updated product, FieldSight will look to expand its use
both within Nepal and around the globe, pursuing strategic partnerships that
aim to integrate FieldSight into broad use. FieldSight will also look to
formalizes its institutional structure in a way that will make it widely
available to UNOPS and other partners.
