UNITAPedia is the UNITA’s Internal Observatory designed to measure and evaluate the impact of the alliance across all stakeholders: students, academic staff, administrative staff, institutions, and external partners. It comprehensively plans, monitors, and evaluates outcomes and long-term societal effects, ensuring alignment with goals and accountability to stakeholders.
Hosted on the alliance’s virtual campus, it responds to the needs of actors from operational, advisory, and decision-making bodies in implementing an impact-oriented approach during project management, allowing for continuous measurement and evaluation of impact
UNITAPedia operates through six interconnected viewpoints, visualized as a cube with four public-facing and two technical back-end perspectives:
Structural
Supports task teams and decision-making bodies in impact-oriented project management, allowing them to pilot indicators and track results, outcomes, and impacts for each task.
Strategic
Aggregates individual task indicators to provide a cross-cutting vision of the alliance’s impact on strategic axes and long-term missions, intended for the entire UNITA community.
Beneficiaries
Reorganizes activities by stakeholder type (students, staff, partners) to present opportunities and ensure continuous communication tailored to each group’s interests.
Semantic
Uses AI and machine learning to automatically generate timeline visualizations of all UNITA productions (activities, deliverables, events), helping the community understand the alliance’s evolution and impact.
Infrastructure
Technical viewpoint communicating the observatory’s infrastructure, location within the virtual campus, and operational structure for infrastructure experts.
Data Model/Technical
Communicates the data model and integration of sources from each university, allowing both experts and non-experts to query specific indicators and generate custom reports.
