Performance Monitoring and Accountability 2020 (PMA2020), an innovative tech solution is making it easy for African countries to access important data on family planning and reproductive health every six months.

The mobile technology which is implemented in eight countries in Sub-Saharan Africa; Burkina Faso, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Niger and Uganda, provides information useful for reporting, planning, operational decisions and advocacy at the community, country and global levels.

The project is currently funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

“PMA2020 is making this data available every six months, which could change the game by enabling policymakers to make real-time decisions,” said Selamawit Desta, program officer of PMA2020 at Bill and Melinda Gates Institute for Population and Reproductive Health located at the US-based Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, during the meeting in Kenya on 27 June.

“We are hopeful that we can attract investments that will allow the data collection platforms to continue to the year 2020 and beyond,” Desta added.

According to Peter Gichangi, director of science and research at International Centre for Reproductive Health Kenya, many resident enumerators use mobile phones to collect data at in  households and health facilities, and transfer the data to a central server.

“The data is then validated, aggregated and prepared into tables and graphs, making results more quickly available to stakeholders as compared to a paper-and-pencil survey,” Gichangi says.
