Title : Short Term Consultant – Posyandu Mobile

Duty station: Jakarta

Sikka (NTT)
Contract duration: 30
working days within 4 months duration to start as soon as possible
Background
The
current Posyandu system faces challenges of poor data quality and delays
between data collection, analysis, and action. Specifically, the focus is primarily
on the collection of data about children and not data analysis and
interpretation or counseling of caregivers to improve children’s nutrition. The
second challenge is that while extensive data on child growth is collected
through Posyandu, accuracy of data collection by cadres is a concern. Furthermore much of this data is never
collated, analysed or reported up to higher levels in the MOH to allow for
monitoring and targeting of initiatives at the population level. Since chronic
and widespread child malnutrition remains a serious problem in Indonesia, the
limitations of the system prevent the Posyandus from improving children
nutrition status.
One
solution to address these problems is to use mobile phones as a tool to
collect, screen, and transmit child nutrition information, and counsel
caregivers on nutrition. World Vision Indonesia (WVI), with technical support
from the MOTECH Suite team, has developed a system and application for
Posyandu. MOTECH suite uses smart phones to capture, transmit, and interpret
health data collected by cadres during client encounters.
Mobile phone technology has been suggested to accelerate data collection
and transfer and improve data quality in nutrition surveillance in
resource-poor settings. However, an
initial desk-based review (Barnett and Gallegos 2012) found no hard evidence or
rigorous evaluations to support these assumptions.
To address this knowledge gap, Institute of Development Studies and WVI
partnered to conduct a rigorous impact evaluation of the use of mobile phone
technology for nutrition surveillance and promoting in rural and urban
Posyandus in Indonesia. This evaluation aims to assess the impact of the growth
monitoring and promotion application on the quality of service delivery in
urban and rural Posyandus.
The consultancy aims to support project implementation to
ensure that the posyandu mobile application and training is implemented as
planned before the impact evaluation is conducted.
