Most consultancies rent their monitoring software. We built ours.

VIGIE did not come from a specification document. It came from thirty years in the field and from coordinating safeguards on projects financed by the World Bank and the AfDB. It does what we needed it to do, and nothing else.

What VIGIE handles

Portfolio & E&S screening

Sub-project register, screening, risk level, applicable instrument and standard, location by region and municipality.

What sets it apart

01

A single file

No installation, no server, no database. VIGIE opens in a browser and works offline, including on mission, far from any network.

02

Your data stays with you

Nothing goes to the cloud. That is a condition of credibility when the tool hosts a SEA/SH grievance channel.

03

Configurable in hours

A new project, a new framework: the structure is configured, not rewritten.

04

Backup built in

Automatic reminder and recoverable backups, a local tool does not forgive a lapse.

Configured to the project’s framework

The applicable framework is chosen at setup. Labels, risk categories and instruments follow.

Deployment and configurations

  1. In service, PDEC

    Casamance Economic Development Project, World Bank. VIGIE carries sub-project screening, instrument and mission tracking, indicators and reporting, under the ESS framework.

  2. Configured, the OS framework

    A version configured for the African Development Bank’s Integrated Safeguards System exists; we show it on request.

Field entry happens on a phone, offline: GPS position, photographs, signature. Back at the office, the records merge into VIGIE with no re-keying. It is the part that saves the most time, and the one that prevents the most errors.
