The Livelihoods Resource Centre (LRC) of the IFRC, in collaboration with the British Red Cross (BRC), has developed two mobile applications aimed at facilitating the management of the daily activities of saving groups, Mother Clubs (CdM) and microentreprises.

Specifically, these applications support the management of:

  • savings and credit activities - Akiko app

  • income-generating activities (IGA) - EasyBiz app

Regarding technical features:

  • The applications operate autonomously (information is stored solely on the device, with no communication with any server). However, they also allow users to create backups and share them with other devices, without the need for an internet connection.

  • Multilingual: The applications are currently available in three languages (English, French, Spanish), but new languages can be integrated thanks to the recently developed multilingual module.
