This is the temporary website for WFP's PDA based data collection application.

Please visit our working group blog on the WFP VAM server

The PDA Survey software suite was developed by WFP VAM Food Security Analysis Service for data collection in food security assessments. It allows very large questionnaires to be built very rapidly and deployed onto many PDAs using flash memory cards.

The software is freely available for use for humanitarian purposes. The only requirement is to send us an email for every assessment that it is used on to wfp.vaminfo@wfp.org, and to eventually write a blog (on our main website - currently down) about your use of it.

The software can be downloaded here.
Make sure to check the hardware compatibility.
Download material for PDA preparation and training.
