M&E

1. Clearly understand the impact of the in-school breakfast feeding

2. What was hampering success

3. NSNP

4. Improvements

5. How was the data interpreted and used

Globally - monitoring the efficacy and impact projects is almost always hampered by conventional paper based data collection methods and reporting. Leads to inaccuracies and more importantly delays in the provision of appropriate “real time” information. All of which can dramatically alter outcomes and future actions. Engage has developed with its technology partners Mobenzi™, a mobile monitoring and reporting solution for The Tiger Brands Foundation in-school breakfast feeding programme across 60 Primary Schools in 6 provinces . Providing live visibility and real-time observation and analysis.

TECHNOLOGY BACKGROUND

MOBENZI ™

Manage forms, people and data from a web-based

console.

Capture data from a standard mobile

phone.

Aim: to outline the mobile data collection, reporting and analysis solution implemented for The Tiger Brands Foundation in school breakfast feeding program.

We needed to collect real time data on:

• food procurement and distribution

• Storage

• Preparation

• Hygiene

• Feeding activities

The solution - establish a reliable accurate flow of information from remote locations, the collation, analysis of information and the presentation of the information in required formats for the project management.

Introduction Mobile Monitoring and Reporting Platform

REAL-TIME DATA AVAILABILITY AND ANALYSIS Data responses are processed and available for analysis, reporting, export or custom action the moment they are submitted. Integrated and interactive reports allow responses to be visualized and monitored as they are captured in the field.

IMPROVED DATA INTEGRITY The removal of paper from the process reduces the number of points at which error can be introduced. Responses may be validated as they are captured to ensure that only data conforming to pre-defined rules is accepted.

FIELDWORKER MANAGEMENT The platform allows for the monitoring of productivity and quality of data collected by field staff, providing a wealth of management information in real time.

ENHANCED MOBILITY do not need network coverage to collect data as responses are stored securely on the mobile phone until network reception becomes available. This enables reporting to be conducted even in the most remote areas.

INTEGRATED COMMUNICATION Communication with school is simplified with the ability to send SMS messages directly. All conversations are logged and tracked from within the Management Console.

FOCUS ON RESPONDENT CONFIDENTIALITY Once a form is completed it cannot be accessed again from the phone. Only authorised individuals within the organisation who have been granted the required permissions may gain access to captured responses.

OPTIMISED RESOURCE USAGE Forms are deployed directly to mobile phones and captured digitally, drastically reducing resource usage and costs related to data capture. Data is supported with Photographs.

Solution Components Management Console

• Access to the management console from a web • Design forms with embedded logic and in multiple languages. • Deploy new forms and updates to your fieldworkers remotely. • Monitor, manage and communicate with the team. • Analyze and export responses in real-time with GPS tagging capability • Collaborate online and print PDF versions of forms and responses.

Mobile Application

Tiny Java application installed onto a standard mobile phone. Data in the field, even without network coverage.

Data submitted automatically when reception is available.

Familiar, unintimidating interface of the mobile phone. Complex logic transformed into an effortless step-by-step process.

Application Programming Interface (API) • Programmatic access to captured data in real-time. • Modify fieldworker form templates dynamically to support dynamic, complex workflows. • Pre-populate forms with your own data to support bidirectional data flows.
