To provide a survey methodology and operations protocol so that governments and NGOs can:◦conduct health surveys at reduced cost ◦with limited external technical assistance◦and achieve high standards of data quality
Dramatically decrease the time from data collection to having data available for decision making
RAMP: Purpose
![Page 5: RAMP Rollout in Kenya](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56816908550346895de01b87/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Technical Reference Manual Standardized questionnaires for malaria Questionnaires designed on the internet using
EpiSurveyor Data collected using cell phones Training manual and tools adaptable to local settings Standard survey methods Rapid analysis and reporting of results

health facility, etc.)◦ Summary questions (innovation)
Duplicated nearly all key indicators that are in the person & net register Eg., no. of persons: all ages & children <5 yo No. of any nets, ITNs No. of persons/children <5 yo slept under ITN last night
Person roster Net roster
◦ Number of persons that slept under each net

Using the cellphones No major problems: all cellphones were operational
No calls to the Datadyne “hotline”
Data entry: worked well
Data was sent to the server by all teams, every day
Daily/immediate upload of data if 2G/GPRS available
Potential difficulties: initial connection of cell phone to
data network
![Page 30: RAMP Rollout in Kenya](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56816908550346895de01b87/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
So, does the RAMP “work”? Conducted by secondary-school graduates with
no previous survey experience Survey was completed within two weeks
◦ 1 week training, 4.5 days field work Daily data cleaning accomplished Preliminary survey results bulletin finished within
24 hours Preliminary report finished within 72 hours Provided excellent management information on
the key indicators
