MIS Development for BRAC Migration Programme

Project Overview

3DEVs IT Ltd. developed a centralized Migration Management Information System (MIS) to support BRAC’s migration programme, enabling efficient management of migration-related services, case tracking, and reporting across multiple projects and stakeholders.

Background

Since 2006, BRAC has been working to promote safe, regular, and responsible migration, prevent human trafficking, and support reintegration of returnee migrants. With multiple projects operating simultaneously and supported by international donors, BRAC required a unified digital platform to centralize programme data and improve operational efficiency.

Business Challenges

• Fragmented data across multiple migration projects 
• Lack of centralized system for case management and reporting 
• Complex workflows involving multiple stakeholders 
• Limited real-time monitoring and decision-making capabilities 
• Need for high-level data security and compliance 
• Difficulty in tracking beneficiaries geographically and programmatically 
• Field-level data collection challenges in low-connectivity environments 

Solution Delivered

3DEVs IT Ltd. designed and implemented a secure, scalable, and modular MIS platform integrating web and mobile technologies.
