WeRobotics

WeRobotics is a global nonprofit advancing people-centered, locally-led integration of emerging technologies in social impact work. With a decade of experience across Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Asia-Pacific, we’ve created a strong track record that technology is only as effective as the people and infrastructures behind it. Our work focuses on amplifying local expertise, nurturing collaborative ecosystems, and reshaping how local and global actors partner to create solutions that reflect local priorities and deliver lasting impact.

By 2025, WeRobotics achieved an important milestone: accomplishing our initial Theory of Change. With our work expanding, and the Flying Labs Network — 40+ locally led, autonomous local knowledge hubs working in their own contexts — we required a Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning system flexible enough to serve diverse realities. Traditional MEL tools couldn’t capture this complexity or reflect the collaborative, people-centered nature of our model.

This led us to expand our Theory of Change and redesign our impact measurement strategy. We needed a platform that could support both WeRobotics’ system-level work and the unique needs of Flying Labs—without relying on one-size-fits-all reporting. ActivityInfo offered that balance.

Through a formal partnership with ActivityInfo, we are developing a structured yet flexible MEL ecosystem that supports high-quality data collection and helps us better understand how local expertise and shared ecosystems drive long-term impact. ActivityInfo underpins our MEL processes across WeRobotics and the Flying Labs Network, making impact measurement more consistent, accessible, and grounded in local realities.

‟ActivityInfo allows us to bring all our MEL work into one place — from logging Flying Labs activities to creating tailored mini-databases for their projects, to gathering feedback from communities, partners, and authorities. It’s flexible enough for 40+ unique local contexts, yet structured enough to help us understand our collective impact.”
