Remote Monitoring of funding using a blockchain Trusted technology


Description

Through sport and football in particular, the UEFA Foundation helps children and protects their fundamental rights, in particular by promoting access to health, education, health care, education sport and the integration of minorities. The Foundation is currently providing grants to over 100 projects running across the globe.
KeeeX is a French technology startup that delivers Blockchain certification and traceability of documents, processes and decisions.

Initial problem: How to monitor efficiently and in a mutual trusted way the funding used by Non-Governmental Organisations and the implementation of activities? With the pandemic it has become increasingly difficult for the NGO’s themselves to travel and to be sure that their reporting was accurate.

Solution: KeeeX proposed its Photo Proof solution to the Foundation, involving a back office and a mobile application. The back office allows the management of users, access to statistics, generation of a code connection (QR, link) of the scenario on the mobile app as well as the possibility to check the authenticity of the photos/videos taken. The integrity of the files is guaranteed by KeeeX technology and blockchain. The app is put at disposal of the NGO’s. The user are able to take probative photos/videos related to the funded event, that embeds proof of integrity, identity, time stamping, geolocation. This application is put at disposal for all our partners and provides an extremely easy way to report activities, material use, infrastructure development. It can be used on any smartphone across the globe and can be easily used by the volunteers in the field.

Thanks to the remote audit solution, the UEFA Children's Foundation and the NGO’s record significant financial savings linked to travel, significant time saving and contributes to the limitation of the of its carbon footprint. The management of funding for NGOs is thus more efficient. It is more easily controlled, and the savings made will enable the Foundation to finance additional projects.

Sustainability

The Remote Trust project t is sustainable in the sense that, on the one hand it employs existing infrastructure used in the partner projects, and on the other hand, the service does not generate an additional cost to the project partners and can be applied to future projects. The development costs are already covered and except for maintenance its use will not weight on the cost structure of the future partnerships.

The project is environmentally sustainable because it reduces the carbon impact by limiting the travel of auditors, which was necessary in the past. The solution used enables remote audits to be made with complete confidence, which saves paper, time and travel costs. We also chose a technology that has a limited carbon impact, even when using blockchain. Each report sent has a carbon impact of about 7g of CO2 or only one third of an email.


WSIS values promotion
