In Malawi, GeoPoll recently partnered with the World Food Programme’s mobile Vulnerability Analysis and Mapping (mVAM) team to conduct a series of SMS surveys on women’s diet quality using the Minimum Dietary Diversity – Women (MDD-W) indicator. This exciting study marks the first time that MDD-W has been successfully adapted to SMS and monitored through the mobile phone.
MDD-W is an important indicator used to determine whether women between the ages of 15-49 are consuming adequate levels of micronutrients. From October 2016 – April 2017, GeoPoll conducted five rounds of SMS surveys on MDD-W.
