FAQ

What does Propel do?

Propel is crafted as a cutting-edge software platform specifically for humanitarian and development sectors, aiming to enrich organisational and programmatic learning. It equips your team to capture crucial project learnings effectively and to forge a shared organisational memory. Propel's core is to enhance collaborative efforts, empower decision-making with evidence, and facilitate adaptive management—all of which are instrumental in elevating efficiency and impact within international development and humanitarian initiatives. Its functionalities are centred around the systematic documentation of learnings, establishing a dynamic organisational memory, providing visual representations of insights, and fostering synergy across various projects and teams.

What does Propel not do?

Propel is dedicated to enhancing learning and collaboration, specifically within the humanitarian and development spheres. While it is an ally in evidence-based decision-making, Propel is not engineered to serve as a comprehensive project management tool, a KPI tracker, or a substitute for your existing operational processes. The essence of Propel is to amplify your organisation's learning capacity, facilitate collaboration, and enable adaptation for a more significant impact, rather than managing the entire spectrum of project implementation.

Who Is Eligible to Join Propel as a Launching Customer?

Our pilot phase, which ran from early 2023 to the end of this year, is now concluded. During this time, we had the privilege of collaborating with a wide range of organisations from the international development and humanitarian sectors, including NGOs, INGOs, government bodies, and research institutions. Their contribution was invaluable in refining Propel's features and enhancing its user experience.

Although the pilot phase has ended, we are thrilled to move into our next stage and are keen to welcome new organisations as launching customers. If your organisation is enthusiastic about advancing learning, bolstering collaboration, and implementing adaptive management, we invite you to join us in this exciting new chapter. As a launching customer, you'll gain early access to the comprehensive functionalities of Propel and play a key role in its ongoing development.
