Mountbatten Ltd

Clients

Mountbatten is proud to work for global clients that operate in the regional market. From UN agencies to Fortune 500 companies. We have been working on some of the biggest and most challenging websites in Uganda.

National Democrating Institute

In close collaboration with the National Democratic Institute(NDI) we developed UgandaWatch, the only genuine national crowd-sourcing tool during the full 2011 election cycle. We developed an intranet for processing all incoming messages with a step-by-step process that allowed message taggers to quickly get up-to-speed. On the frontend we adapted DevelopmentSeed's ManagingNews to visualize the collected data. We added the possibility of showing barcharts over the map of Uganda for this project. We are currently working with NDI and its partners on one of the biggest SMS based projects in Uganda.

UNICEF Uganda

For UNICEF Uganda we are building Devtrac their service monitoring tool. DevTrac is a Ugandan initiative led by a consortium of government and donor agencies: including the GEO-IS Working group, OCHA, Uganda Bureau of Statistics and UNICEF - to visualize and monitor the status of national services (schools, health centers, water points, etc) and development projects. For Devtrac we extensively used Drupal's powerful search capabilities to generate unlimited ways to look at all collected data in several different formats. We also developed a new set of modules that is capable capturing structured data about a certain context. Devtrac is currently in its third upgrade cycle and more exciting features are in the pipeline.

Shares!

Shares! develops, finances, processes and exports added value organic agricultural commodities from Uganda such as sesame, chilli peppers and ginger. We build a small website for them with embedded video using open standards and the new < video > tag available in modern browers, with a nice fall-back solution for older browsers. www.shares.ug.

Start Your Business Competition '08 & '09

The Start Your Business Competition is an example of a complex, advanced technology website build in Drupal. Start Your Business is an initiative whereby young Ugandans are motivated to run businesses.

Over 4 separate rounds participants could submit their business proposals. 10 Winners have won one of the big prices both in money as well as support setting up their business in 2008. 4500 People participated in the competition in 2008.

Mountbatten was approached to design a website and a strategy of how the submitters can enter the competition. Besides that the project will have an educational value; part of the website has been reserved for interesting content for starting business people. This way not only submitters, but also independent entrepreneurs can benefit from visiting the website. www.startyourbusiness.ug
