Data & accountability
Accurate data, on time, every time.
How we collect, verify and process information so that every figure we report can be trusted.
Why it matters
Good data means no child is missed.
Behind every number in our reports is a child, a parent or a health worker. To make sure those numbers are right, TASIWA uses a data management system that helps us process our information and gives us accurate and timely results.
This lets us know how many children have been screened, insured or linked to care; follow up with families who miss appointments; and give our funders, supervising partners and the government a true picture of progress.
From field to report
Our data journey in five steps
Select a step to see what happens.
Collect — At the source
Information is recorded where the work happens — at screening points, health facilities, caregiver sessions and community visits — by trained staff and Community Health Workers using standard registers and forms.
- Standard tools for every activity
- Recorded by trained staff and CHWs
- Consent obtained before personal details are captured
Verify — Checked for quality
Supervisors review records for completeness and accuracy, cross-check figures against source registers, and follow up on gaps before data moves on.
- Completeness and consistency checks
- Spot checks against source registers
- Errors corrected at the source
Process — Through our data system
Verified data is entered into our data management system, which helps us clean, organise and analyse it — turning thousands of records into clear, reliable figures.
- Secure, central data management system
- Automatic totals and summaries
- Removes duplicates and catches errors early
Report — Accurate and on time
The system produces timely reports for donors, supervising partners, government and communities — so decisions are based on correct, up-to-date information.
- Regular progress reports to partners
- Figures traceable to source records
- Shared with health authorities where appropriate
Act — Learning and improving
We review the results with our team and partners to see what is working, where children are being missed, and where to focus next.
- Data-informed planning
- Follow-up of children who miss care
- Lessons shared with stakeholders
