Arpan's Training MIS

Description

Arpan is a globally recognised, award-winning non-governmental organisation (NGO) dedicated to
protecting children from sexual abuse. Arpan is scaling up its work and reach through partnerships with
government bodies, school chains and NGOs across India. Arpan’s flagship programme involves
educating children and adolescents (aged 4 to 18 years) about personal safety, empowering them to
identify and seek help in unsafe situations. Alongside this, Arpan focuses on training and building the
capacities of stakeholders to help them replicate and scale the delivery of Child Sexual Abuse prevention
and healing services. This initiative includes training and building the capacities of stakeholders, such as
NGO professionals, schoolteachers, institutional staff, health and mental health professionals and
government duty bearers, through digital content and e-learning platforms. To bolster this initiative,
Arpan has developed a robust training management information system (TMIS) that serves as its
technological backbone.
Objective: The training MIS of Arpan has been designed with several key objectives in mind. The primary
goals are to:
 Provide a multiple-model convergent portal for defining all training programmes (basic and
advanced), their schedules, participant attendance, follow-ups, pre–post assessments and
feedback.
 Build a robust informational and interactive training analytical system.
 Develop a customised Android-based app and web-based platform to collect attendance-related
data and monitor participants’ progress in the training programmes. 
 Develop a single app with two interfaces for facilitators/trainers and participants, respectively.
 Pilot the new training programme.
 Periodically report key performance indicators (KPIs) to track participants, from registration,
attendance, pre–post assessments, feedback, and handholding to the implementation of the PSE
programme in the field with children and adults.
 Manage administrative and user information alongside other features, such as dashboards, report
generation etc.

We anticipate this MIS to have a profound impact on Arpan’s mission by:
 Empowering Trainers: Enhancing trainers’ capabilities to help them deliver effective Personal
Safety Education Training of Trainer sessions.
 Making Data-Informed Decisions: Enabling Arpan’s leadership to make informed decisions
based on real-time data.
 Increasing Programme Effectiveness: Improving the overall effectiveness of the PSE TOT
initiative through continuous monitoring and evaluation.
 Scaling Impact: Facilitating the expansion of Arpan’s reach and impact by identifying key areas
for improvement.

The development of Arpan’s training MIS marks a significant stride in advancing Child Sexual Abuse
prevention through education. By harnessing the power of data, Arpan aims to not only enhance the
effectiveness of its training programmes but also contribute valuable insights to the broader field of
child protection.
