SDG4 - Avni has been used to digitise the WHO Teach tool that is being used by some state governments in India (http://morungexpress.com/nagaland-becomes-second-state-in-india-to-implement-teach-tool). It is also used in rural settings (in Assam and Gujarat) to run programs that detect and stop child labor and promote school attendance. SDG6 - Avni is used in monitoring the construction of toilets in the urban slums of Maharashtra. It is used across multiple states of India to monitor annual waterbody desilting activities.

Authentication - Avni can use either Amazon Cognito (proprietary) or Keycloak (open source, Apache license) Object storage - Avni can use either Amazon S3 (proprietary) or Minio (open source, AGPL) Both these options are natively supported, and used in production systems. To use the open alternatives, there are some config changes that are provided in https://avni.readme.io/docs/on-premise-setup-of-avni-without-cloud-services During every release, we test against both configurations to ensure functionality

PII data is collected and stored but NOT distributed.
Privacy Organisations are encouraged to ask for consent for providing information along with specifying the information being collected, the purpose and information about how it may be used. Many organisations choose to ask and collect consent in audio format. Some provide a text field that they read out and collect consent through an option in their mobile device. Security Avni provides options to encrypt data in rest and transit, both within the server as well as in the mobile device. It uses OpenIdConnect (OIDC) for authentication and Role Based Access Control (RBAC) to control access to information to only those who require it. Avni has gone through a security audit to ensure the app follows OWASP guidelines.
Content is collected and stored but NOT distributed.
Avni is used by members of an organisation to record information about beneficiaries. Collected content is usually meant to be used internally and not distributed to anyone outside the organisation. The organisation is the owner of the content. Most content involves text and numeric fields and multichoice questions. There is the option to add images/videos, which is used by some organisations. The expectation is that the user's contract with its organisation will ensure that inappropriate/illegal content is not stored by the user. Avni currently does not have mechanisms to identify inappropriate and illegal content, although there are third party mechanisms that can be used to scan and flag content in the object store.
Yes
Avni is used by members of an organisation to record information about beneficiaries. Direct beneficiary communication is not a core feature of Avni. The organisation is responsible for processes around protection of users and beneficiaries against grief, abuse and harassment. Having said that, there are some features that can help. 1. There is a call masking feature that allows users to call beneficiaries without revealing their phone number. This helps protect users when they are working with a previously unknown group of beneficiaries 2. Avni provides mechanisms to integrate with Glific (an existing DPG), which can be used for two-way communication with beneficiaries. Grievance redressal mechanisms can be implemented on Glific.
