SMS – Short

Message Service

RapidSMS is an information tracking

tool that collects data over “SMS” or

“Text Messages” from mobile users

RapidSMS allows data to be collected

in real time to enable LGA, State,

Federal, and partners to collect,

analyze, and react to data more quickly.

RapidSMS is supplementary to

paper-based system, AND NOT A

REPLACEMENT.

What RapidSMS does

Fast, easy, inexpensive

data collection

Instant analysis

Information in real time

Web-based data

dissemination

Supplement paper

processes

Ensures active feedback to

field workers

Enables vertical and horizontal

peer review

How it works

Ward focal persons use their mobile phones to send SMS report of daily Ward summaries.

SMS are sent to a toll-free short code number, provided by the GSM providers. (MTN & Airtel

for now) - 24453

The SMS are then analyzed and uploaded into the web site as reports for decision makers at all

levels for action.

Output is viewed on the Dashboard @ http://rapidsmsnigeria.org

Core Requirement

RapidSMS requires adequate time to train the right

personnel to understand the rudiments of following

simple procedures in writing given “sms” codes and being able to dedicate themselves

to deliver on agreed time boundaries in order to add value to its deployment in

obtaining better programme management outcomes.

RationaleInformation on Campaign progress received daily and in

real time

Aids decision making at all levels

Aids planning for national development ; child protection
