PASSAsia-MDC1

Data Collection have always been an integral part of research, Results Based Management (RBM) including Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL). In the past, these tasks were performed with using pen and paper which made them time consuming , error-prone, difficult to conduct on a large scale and high in transaction costs.

Advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have opened exciting new avenues on conduction of research and data collection with a huge emphasis on RBM in economic activities and not only projects. One of these advances is the use of Mobile Data Collection (MDC). Instead of manual data collection and entry into database for analysis, data is entered into a device capable of exporting directly into a centralized database for processing and analysis.
