Revolutionizing Data Collection: World Food Programme And Nielsen Use Scalable Mobile Surveys In Today’s Changing Technological Landscape
Abstract:
Nielsen, a global information and measurement company, and the United Nation’s World Food Programme (WFP), the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide, worked together on a year long pro bono project to revolutionize WFP’s mobile data collection. As part of Nielsen’s commitment to skills-based volunteering and the in kind giving of data and insights, a team of Nielsen measurement science associates worked to help WFP move from solely in-person interviews to incorporating remote mobile data collection into WFP’s survey toolkit. Data is critical to the success of WFP’s ongoing relief and support efforts, as the organization plans its operations and prioritizes its assistance based on the information it collects. When physical access for face-to-face interviews is limited because of conflict, disease or other risks, carrying out its programs effectively and efficiently becomes difficult.
