Advantages of utilizing mobile technology
Paper Survey
Shortcomings
PMA2020
Strengthening Surveillance
Collection and data entry errors
Minimizes errors: automated constraints,
skip logic, no data entry step
Reporting delays: Data collection and
data entry are separate steps.
Rapid reporting
Delayed feedback to point of
collection
Rapid feedback to communities

GPRS: General Packet Radio Service
The use of mobile devices lends itself to the
collection of new types of data…
• GPS coordinates
• Date/Time Stamp
• Photos
• Bar Code
•
Way of paying resident enumerators, mobile money

…and our data are being used!
 Ethiopia’s FMoH has used PMA2020 results to redesign national FP
strategies. The ministry plans to use PMA2020 data from subsequent
rounds for continued tracking of national FP progress.
 DR Congo’s MOH has used PMA2020 to monitor progress and featured
survey results at 2 most recent National FP conferences.
 Uganda FMOH is using PMA2020 data to do a situational analysis for
their Costed Implementation Plan.
 AAU has worked with UNFPA to conduct their facility RHCS survey using
our platform.
 CHAI is using our supply data to track implant use and provision. FHI-360
is using it as well.
 DKT is using our data to track EC use – and plans to use for tracking SP
uptake in Nigeria.
 BKKBN plans to use the PMA2020 platform to replace FP “mini-survey.”
