Organizations traditionally invested in collecting data face-to-face focused on learning and adaptation this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While very challenging, it is a process of adapting to new circumstances that bore lessons in resourcefulness. One important lesson focuses on the different modes of data collection that can be used and combined for more strategic and economical project planning.
Even before the announcement of the Safe People + Data Initiative, the team at Dobility responded to COVID-19 through developing computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) functionality, investing in more accessible web forms, creating materials on how to make use of SMS messaging including informed consent, and adding functionality for remote and decentralized data collection.
In this webinar, we discuss lessons learned and demonstrate SurveyCTO features to support remote data collection based on the two following scenarios:
- Use case 1: Government health facilities around the country have been tasked with providing screening and testing for COVID-19. A broad range of data points are crucial to observe as independently as possible and track over time concerning medical supplies and personal protective equipment.
- Use case 2: An organization with a mandate to grow the capacity of small farmers is looking to implement and track an intervention. Qualified small farmers must be recruited, with their farms evaluated, and tracked over time to evaluate outcomes.
