Making a Big Difference
Pegotec is a well-known company helping improve a critical program in Cambodia called IDPoor. Our team, comprising skilled professionals, developed the mobile component of this program. We’re proud to be a part of this big project.
What We Do: Helping More than Just a Bit
Driven by our commitment to the nationwide IDPoor Programme, we’ve crafted an innovative mobile application for phones and tablets. Undeniably, this app is crucial for collecting and managing data from millions of Cambodians, thus representing a significant advancement in the program’s progress.
New Methods: Making Data Collection Better
Our team has incorporated new methods for measuring poverty into the IDPoor Android and iOS apps. We’ve added new questions to enhance data collection and improve accuracy.
Looking at the Big Picture: A National Plan
The ID Poor program is a significant part of the Cambodian Government’s plan to combat poverty. Since 2005, the government has been improving things for low-income families, mostly in rural areas. They’re receiving assistance from other partners, such as GIZ.
Making an Impact: Turning Knowledge into Action
After using the IDPoor process, low-income families receive “Equity Cards.” These cards enable them to seek help from the government and other organizations. This is a crucial step in fighting poverty.
Working Together: Making Progress with Others
Pegotec is a global company. We’re happy to work closely with Cambodia’s Ministry of Planning and other partners. We’re also teaming up with Mainlevel, a respected group based in Germany, and Web Essentials, a leading company in Cambodia. By working together, we aim to make a big difference.
Saying Thanks: Recognizing Donors
The IDPoor program has been successful due to donations to Cambodia. The German government, through GIZ, has provided substantial financial support and assistance. Other donors, including the Australian Government, the European Commission, and UNICEF, have also provided significant assistance. Their support is making life better for many people in Cambodia.
Pegotec is thankful for its contribution to enhancing Cambodia’s ID Poor Programme.
Since 2005, Cambodia’s Ministry of Planning has developed a standardized questionnaire and procedure to identify poor households in rural areas, with support from GIZ and other development partners such as the Australian Government, the European Commission, and UNICEF.
