The cards below show what each funding program pays for and what people should be able to see when the work is delivered.

Physical attendance gear
Devices or equipment used to record attendance during programs and institutional activities.
Server systems
Backend services that store attendance records and connect the gear to the platform.
Mobile attendance app

How users understand it
From money to visible outcomes.
Funding is easiest to understand when it is shown as a path: support comes in, a tool is built, and learners or institutions can use it.
