Description
This case study explores how the 121 Platform, developed by 510, enabled multiple NGOs in Ethiopia to streamline multi-purpose cash assistance delivery. Integrated with Kobo Toolbox and local banking systems like the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia, 121 significantly reduced registration and payment processing times, enabled role-based data access, and enhanced accountability—supporting a scalable, secure digital infrastructure for consortium-led humanitarian response.
