CONSULTANT FOR DEVELOPING MANAGEMENT DATA
SURFAID PROGRAM
SurfAid is an international non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health and nutrition status of women and children living in remote regions of Indonesia connected to surfing locations. Our work spans across the islands of Mentawai, Sumba, and Rote, focusing on community-based health and nutrition programs, food security, nutrition-sensitive agriculture, and water and sanitation, with the goal of supporting key health behaviors that reduce stunting.
In this context, data plays a crucial role in the SurfAid Program's success. It serves as the foundation for effective monitoring, evaluation, and decision-making. Accurate and comprehensive data enables the program to assess its impact, track progress against established indicators, and identify areas needing improvement. By leveraging data-driven insights, the program can refine its interventions to better meet community needs, optimize resource allocation, and uphold accountability to stakeholders. Effective data management is essential for ensuring that interventions are timely and responsive, thereby maximizing the program's impact and efficacy.
Despite the program's efforts, gaps exist in the current data management approach, particularly in integrating and synchronizing large volumes of data collected through both manual and digital methods. Data is gathered manually by field workers using paper forms during community visits (village profiles), capturing posyandu progress monthly, recording training participants' attendances and session feedback and entry into the spreadsheet. Concurrently, digital tools such as KoboToolbox facilitate real-time data capture via mobile devices, which, while enhancing data collection efficiency, contributes to a fragmented data landscape. Several collecting data activities using digital applications such as data beneficiaries, stakeholders, other capacity health workers and posyandu cadres assessments, and others. The coexistence of these two data collection methods has resulted in inconsistencies in data formats and structures, complicating the consolidation and comprehensive analysis of information. This fragmentation impedes timely decision-making and hinders the effective utilization of valuable data insights, ultimately affecting the program's ability to leverage the full potential of its data.
To address these challenges and optimize the program's data management capabilities, SurfAid seeks to engage a data management consultant. The consultant will provide expert guidance in developing a cohesive system for synchronizing manual and digital data sources (from Kobo Toolbox). Their role will encompass designing and implementing an integrated data platform, creating an interactive dashboard for monitoring progress and facilitating advanced data analysis. The developed dashboard has to accommodate information about data Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning to give a more comprehensive overview of the running programme. By leveraging the consultant's expertise, the program aims to enhance its data management capabilities, allowing for more comprehensive monitoring and evaluation.
