• Responds to: FP2020 Initiative • Need for more frequent data to mark progress

• Builds upon: Advances in Mobile Technology • Evolution of smart-phone technology & cell provider reach

• 2 linked mobile-assisted, sentinel surveys • Household & Female Survey – measuring demand and use • Service Delivery Point Survey – measuring supply and access

• Implementation in 11 countries:

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3

PMA2020 Overview

1. Ghana 2. DR Congo 3. Ethiopia 4. Uganda 5. Kenya

6. Nigeria 7. Burkina Faso 8. Indonesia 9. Niger

10. India 11.Pakistan


Survey features • Innovative mobile technology

• Annual indicators of progress

• Survey fielded in 4-6 week timeframe

• Provides consistency with DHS measures…

• …and introduces new indicators of quality, choice, access

• Creates a community feedback loop to prompt program improvement

• Establishes a platform that is expandable to other health sectors

• Strengthens local capacity

• Network of partner universities/research institutions

• Network of resident enumerators


Minimizes errors: automated constraints, skip logic, no data entry step

Rapid feedback to communities

Collection and data entry errors

Delayed feedback to point of collection

Reporting delays: Data collection and data entry are separate steps. Rapid reporting

Paper Survey Shortcomings

PMA2020 Strengthening Surveillance

Advantages of utilizing mobile technology


GPRS: General Packet Radio Service

How it works

Resident Enumerator


The use of mobile devices lends itself to the collection of new types of data…

• GPS coordinates

• Date/Time Stamp

• Photos

• Bar Code

• Way of paying resident enumerators, mobile money

Progress in Numbers

9 countries launched (2 to go!)

20 Rounds Completed

~1200 REs Trained

~200,000 Forms completed


…and our data are being used! Ethiopia’s FMoH has used PMA2020 results to redesign national FP

strategies. The ministry plans to use PMA2020 data from subsequent rounds for continued tracking of national FP progress.

DR Congo’s MOH has used PMA2020 to monitor progress and featured survey results at 2 most recent National FP conferences.

Uganda FMOH is using PMA2020 data to do a situational analysis for their Costed Implementation Plan.

AAU has worked with UNFPA to conduct their facility RHCS survey using our platform.

CHAI is using our supply data to track implant use and provision. FHI-360 is using it as well.

DKT is using our data to track EC use – and plans to use for tracking SP uptake in Nigeria.

BKKBN plans to use the PMA2020 platform to replace FP “mini-survey.”


The road ahead… - Positive review by Gates Co-Chairs

- Restructured grant under review - Platform expansion

- New modules

- New geographies

- New indicators

- South-to-South training centers

- Innovations and new “product development”

- Online data visualization tool under development

- New data collection methodologies (RDDS, Bio-Markers)

- Geospatial “Black Box”
