Grow Great

Grow Great is a national campaign working to end child stunting in South Africa by 2030. Stunting affects 1 in 4 children under five and is caused by long-term undernutrition, but it’s preventable with the right support early in life. Grow Great tackles the key drivers of stunting in young children, pushing for national change while generating local action by supporting parents, upskilling community health workers and mobilising government, business and civil society to invest in zero stunting strategies.

Grow Great uses ActivityInfo to collect and store data generated by its programmes, keep track of its progress towards targets and generate data-driven insights for decision-making. The system has been adopted by the MEL team and there is growing demand for it across the organisation.

“ActivityInfo has enabled us to consolidate complex programme data and build a strong data-driven foundation for scale. Its user-friendly interface and comprehensive customer support means Grow Great can hit the ground running in new sites, using the system for data collection, reporting and evidence-based decision-making around programme design. It is saving us time, resources and capacity while also driving efficiency and quality. This is the kind of data-system every NGO needs!” — Amanda Edwards MEL Lead, Grow Great
