Education Management Information System (EMIS) in Yemen

UNESCO Yemen entrusted Masae, under the Global Partnership for Education (GPE), to design and implement a modern Education Management Information System (EMIS) for the country’s Ministry of Education. This initiative aimed to transform the way educational data is collected, managed, and visualised, supporting better decision-making for schools across Yemen.

Why This Matters

Education is a cornerstone of development, but in Yemen, ongoing challenges make it difficult to gather and use reliable school data. By providing a robust EMIS, MASAE empowered the Ministry of Education to track key information—such as student enrolment, teacher availability, and school resources—more efficiently and accurately than ever before.

Our Approach

MASAE’s approach was tailored to Yemen’s unique context:

  • Comprehensive Needs Assessment:
    We began by reviewing the Ministry’s requirements and assessing local conditions, including technology access and internet connectivity.

  • Custom System Development:
    Based on our findings, we recommended and developed a user-friendly EMIS platform perfectly suited to Yemen’s needs.

  • Real-World Piloting:
    The system was piloted across approximately 50 schools, enabling real data collection, entry, and visualisation. This hands-on approach ensured the solution was practical and effective in the field.

Results and Impact

The new EMIS allows the Ministry of Education to:

  • Collect and Manage Data Efficiently:
    Schools can now submit data quickly and securely, reducing paperwork and errors.

  • Visualise Educational Trends:
    Dashboards and reports provide clear insights, helping officials make informed decisions.

MASAE was commissioned by the OECD—in partnership with the Mongolian National Statistical Office—to help address a critical challenge: how to accurately and efficiently monitor Mongolia’s rapidly growing livestock population while safeguarding the country’s natural resources.

MASAE partnered with an international hotel chain to help them monitor and advance their environmental goals. The focus was on assessing the Green Plot Ratio (GPR)—a measure of the amount and types of vegetation present across their properties. By accurately mapping and analysing vegetation, the hotel chain could better assess its overall environmental impact.
