About the webinar
Post-distribution monitoring is often treated as a standalone survey that is completely disconnected from the original distribution data. This siloed approach makes it difficult to verify beneficiary details or link feedback to specific deliveries.
In this session, we explore the PDM data lifecycle and the importance of moving to a relational data model. We show you how to link what was delivered to how it was received to ensure that beneficiary feedback effectively closes the loop and directly informs future decision-making.
In summary, we cover:
- What is the data lifecycle for PDM?
- Why is it critical to move from "siloed" surveys to a relational model?
- Steps to design PDM indicators that close the feedback loop.
- How to set up linked forms, validation rules, and real-time PDM analysis in ActivityInfo.
