 SELV - Tablet Roll Out / Pilot

  • Tablet Roll Out Status - Gaza

  • Excel Statistics

  • Observer starts on Thursday

  • Tatenda will write up guidelines for observations per discussion

  • Tatenda to update Excel statistics on Dropbox.

 

Report Distribution - Status?

  • PDF reports are used for quick updates - primary tool.

  • Interactive Tabeau reports used sometimes during discussions at the Province level.

  • No district level conversations because of hierarchy politics.

 

Software Development

  • Budget Update

  • Tableau - Requests are more involved and time consuming.

  • SELV v2 Maintenance / Updates budget is approximately $2K / Month

  • October spend approximately $3K due to working through backlog

  • Mike will provide estimates to allow team to make investment decisions.  Team recognizes trade-offs between creating reports that are reusable and extracting data for one time analysis.

 

 Tablet Update

  • National roll-out decision is based on results from observations and results of current pilot.  Tatenda and Vidya will write-up results and recommendation.  Will need to project plan this to understand budget implications for HSG and ISG.

  • Excel / Word on tablets - Would like this capability to enable note taking.  Microsoft apps don't run on Android tablets, but there is a third party tool available.  Mike can test when Sarah gets back with the tablet.

  • Tablet Camera - Camera not enabled on one tablet - need password.
