Project Description: The Government of Bangladesh has undertaken a lot of plans and programs for citizen Household development. This survey was a part of the ongoing process. The aim of the project is to collect information about standard of living and nutritional status of the population.

BBS required to develop Web and Mobile Application for Citizen Household Survey Data Collection, Monitoring, Reporting and Data Management. The main goal of the survey is to design comprehensive guidelines, strategic action plan and integrated platform for citizen Household data collection in a coordinated manner. This helps to strengthen further programmes and reach the right people in a more inclusive manner. The survey cover the sixty four districts of Bangladesh.

To complete the assignment, solvers go through the entire citizen Household data collection process. We done requirement analysis & design for the solution. The solution for the survey was developed in such a manner as to detect most of the errors, omissions or inconsistencies right at the data collection field level. We developed a mobile application, which interacts with server using API (Application Programming Interface). We developed a web based dashboard to monitor all the real time reporting, collected data, supervisor can supervise their subordinates, data validation and other required functionalities. Strong quality control measures were adopted. After completing the development task, the testing and bug solving completed. We deploy the total system. After completing the implementation and final testing, we start training the personnels.

The CAPI process ensure smooth and quality data collection. Enumerators send data from the field in real time using mobile internet connection. The data were substantially cleaned and validated at the field level. The collected data stored into a centralized database. When the survey start, solvers also provide support to the enumerators over phone or remote access.

After the data was transferred to BBS headquarter, Project team reviewed data. Project authority compiled and exported data from the web application to a readable version for further data analysis and reporting.
