Every data collection system is prone to errors, resulting from design oversights or human errors during data collection, processing, and transmission.When used routinely, a data quality audit is one of the best measures used to improve data integrity once data has been collected and before it is used for important decisions.This toolkit is intended to provide Data Quality Audit procedures and tools to assist users to:1. Assess the quality of reported data.2. Review the health information system processes that produce the data.3. Develop action plans to improve data management and quality.The toolkit includes the following materials:DQA toolkit overview and user guideModule 1 Data Quality Audit template (Excel)Module 2 DQA data preparation tool (Excel)Module 3 Data Quality Audit results data prep (Excel)Tally sheet sample (Excel)Facility performance assessment questionnaire sample (Word)RDQA orientation agenda sample (Word)Data Quality Audit report template outline (Word)

A summary of a report that presents the results of a stakeholder analysis conducted in Zambia by the PATH Malaria Control and Elimination Partnership in Africa (MACEPA) in partnership with the Zambia Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Zambia Ministry of Community Development, Mother and Child Health (MCDMCH), and in support of Zambia’s National Malaria Control Program (NMCP). The analysis assessed the perceptions and prioritization of key stakeholders in malaria policy and implementation decision-making around readiness to introduce and scale new tools and approaches to accelerate efforts toward elimination. The analysis also assessed perceptions around what respondents felt was needed to accelerate progress toward national targets and opportunities and barriers to increasing the prominence of malaria on the national health agenda.

The analysis also assessed perceptions around what respondents felt was needed to accelerate progress toward national targets and opportunities and barriers to increasing the prominence of malaria on the national health agenda. The results from this first analysis serve as a baseline for future reports, analyses, and projects. The analysis findings are intended to inform policies and program strategies to accelerate progress toward the reduction and elimination of the malaria burden in Zambia.
