SMART and SMART+ Survey Manager Level Training Opportunity |
Background
SMART (Standardized Monitoring and Assessment of Relief and Transitions) is an inter-agency initiative, which was launched in 2002 by a network of organizations and humanitarian practitioners, including donors, policymakers, and leading experts in emergency epidemiology, nutrition, food security, early warning systems, and demography. SMART is widely accepted by the Global Nutrition Cluster (GNC) and Action Against Hunger has acted as the SMART Project Convener since 2009.
SMART was initiated to improve the monitoring, reporting, and evaluation of humanitarian interventions. It has been designed to address issues of common interest to many organizations working in humanitarian assistance including the need to: i) standardize survey methodologies among organizations, ii) strengthen the technical capacity of all partners with user-friendly tools; and iii) establish comprehensive, collaborative systems to ensure good quality and reliable data is used for reporting and decision-making.
SMART+, our newest innovation, builds on the foundation of the SMART methodology, bringing today’s manual nutrition survey processes into the digital realm. In this training you will learn about the SMART+ end-to-end digital infrastructure, from data collection to dissemination, powered by 4 SMART+ Tools: SMARTCollect, SMART+ Platform, SMART+ Aggregator, and SMART+ Dashboard. SMART+ will equip SMART surveyors with the capacity to provide a real-time global view of malnutrition on the ground, allowing governments, public health organizations and NGOs to identify where malnutrition is occurring so they can respond in a targeted, timely manner.
After more than a decade of refinement and application, SMART has grown to be the reference and gold standard for cross-sectional survey methodology among organizations and governments. Data from SMART surveys and SMART+ are trusted and used by many different actors and sectors at country, regional, and global levels.
To equip your teams with standardized nutrition assessment practices, and with the capacity for more reliable nutrition data used by decision-makers in nutrition and health programs, the Global SMART Initiative is seeking requests from you to support technical capacity-building at the country-level.
SMART/ SMART+ Survey Manager trainings, will help you and your teams gain knowledge in how to define survey objectives, determine sample size & sampling strategy, recruit and train survey teams, supervise field teams, assess data quality, interpret results and formulate recommendations.
If you require capacity building in SMART or SMART+ Survey Manager Level training, kindly fill out the following questionnaire to confirm your request.
