  2. DRS EXPERIENCE IN • AFRICAN CENSUS DATA CAPTURE • DRS

  3. DRS in Census DRS HAS PROVIDED SCANNERS, QUESTIONNAIRES, SOFTWARE & TRAINING FOR, & WORKED WITH: • Zambia Census 2000(OMR) • Tanzania Census 2002(OMR) • ETHIOPIA 2007 (OMR + K/C) • ZIMBABWE 2007/8 (OMR) (ICDC) • SUDAN 2008 (OMR + K/C) • MALAWI 2008 (OMR + K/C)

  10. Zimbabwe ICDS - 2007/8 Pilot on hold

  11. Sudan Mali Ethiopia Gambia Sierra Leone Liberia Uganda Nigeria Ivory Coast Cameroon Kenya Ghana Zanzibar Tanzania Malawi Zambia Namibia Zimbabwe Mozambique Botswana SouthAfrica Lesotho Swaziland

  12. Census Preparations Enumeration Including: Questionnaire Design Data capture Census Results CSPro

  13. Data capture ………. is that painful interval between enumeration and evaluation of the data

  14. Data capture ? Not so good news …… No panacea ! Good news …… there are techniques which can assist, & choices – are relatively few. a) Internal b) Outsource a) Keying b) Scanning – of some sort + Keying

  15. Choice 1. a) Keying – still has a place b) Scanning – of some sort + Keying Considerations • Timeframe for producing results • Type of Questions / Enumerator or Self Completion • Questionnaire Design / Implications for Enumerators • Accuracy ?? – of completion / of data capture • ANTICIPATED CONDITION OF QUESTIONNAIRES • SKILLS AVAILABLE

  16. Scanning. When the Enumeration is over, what happens next? Images & Data Export to CSPro for data cleaning & analysis Validation Key completion

  17. OMR + Keying “Intelligent” Scanning (Image + Data) Validation of Data Confirm /complete Key from Image Export data

  18. OMR / Key Correction Advantages Quickest, simplest data capture method for well completed forms Enumerator only needs to mark HB Pencil + Eraser Appropriate level of technology for current IT resources Cost competitive solution – known / one time OMR

  19. OMR Without question, OMR is the fastest & easiest way to capture data IF the Questionnaire is filled out correctly =========================================== It is easier to train 30,000 enumerators to mark than it is to train them to correctly write, & accurately position characters 5

  20. Data Accuracy – at scanning OMR – the scanner will recognise this 99.99% of the time IT Resources – current / available skills Database Programming & Management VB.net / Csharp etc program development

  21. Choice 2. a) Internal b) Outsource • Is there a capable & willing partner available? • Is this really a potential opportunity for CSO data capture resource building? At what stage of IT resource development are CSO? A third way? Outsource scanning / CSO Key Correction !!

  22. Established 1969 Milton Keynes, UK • Approx. 200 employees • Manufacturer and supplier, world-wide, of automated data capture technology and solutions. • Specialists in swift, accurate and secure data entry for mission critical projects • Examinations • Voter Registration • Census • Elections • Scanners, specialised forms, software

  23. DRS Scanning Systems DRS PS900 Potential Scanning Speed: Up to 8,000 double sided forms per hour Full Image + OMR Data Anticipated throughput: 3,000 forms per hour

  24. DRS PS900 OMR / Image technology permits: Real time OMR Electronic Archiving of image Key Correction from image ICR/OCR – “post process” OMR + Key Correction from Image ICR + Key Correction from Image

  25. DRS Prints more than 200 million specialist forms a year

  26. DRS Software Division

  27. DRS provides: • Experience from past census projects • Guidance in all aspects of the data capture (IT infrastructure, Work flow, Project Mgmt.) • Design & Print Questionnaires • Scanners • Customised data capture and key correction software (OMR / ICR or a combination) • Training & Support

  28. Comprehensive Documentation
