Our goal was to collaborate with Men on the Side of the Road (MSR) to improve their data management system for member information. After consulting stakeholders using interviews and surveys, we designed and implemented a system that met MSRs needs, trained employees on system use, and established a maintenance plan consisting of a user manual and an IT support network. Emphasizing sustainability was key to ensuring our project supports MSR as it continues its mission of reducing unemployment in Namibia.
