Pictured here is one of the most crucial elements required to sustain a survey the size and scale of the
#SafetySurvey currently underway in the eThekwini Municipality. Every evening after a full day of fieldwork our VPUU field operatives are required to charge almost sixty cellphones and then upload completed survey data, clearing the phones for a new day of fieldwork the following day.
Survey data is collected using ODK Collect, an open source app used for survey-based data gathering, and then uploaded to ODK Aggregate which allows for the storage, analysis and presentation of this data.
