DataVision has successfully presented in cooperation with Unbounded Int. the findings of the needs assessment of non-state ECCE providers. This needs assessment involved interviews with school owners, teachers and Focus Group Discussions with parents in Arusha and Dar es Salaam.
DataVision conducted a sanitation survey in collaboration with HafenCity University Hamburg in Germany and BORDA Tanzania in December 2022, in Dar es Salaam. Households and vacuum truck operators in Dar es Salaam were the source of information. This data enables BORDA to determine and evaluate the costs of Faecal Sludge Management (FSM) services, and in continuation will be the basis for cost optimisation.
Houshold interviews in different sampled areas in Dar es Salaam have been conducted by our experienced enumerators.
DataVision Int. has been contracted by Water.org and Tanzania Commercial Bank (TCB) to conduct a market assessment to understand the WASH market in Tanzania, to identify financing gaps in the supply, delivery, financing model, and distribution for the service providers and consumers in this market in 12 districts in Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar.
In this context DataVision Int. conducted interviews with Water Vendors, Hospitals, Schools, and service providers in Water and Sanitation supply to identify and quantify the challenges and gaps in the provision of clean water and sanitation services.
Focus Group Discussions with household members were part of the study as well.
DataVision Int. has been awarded to conduct baseline and endline studies for the improvement of the hygiene behavior in schools and health care facilities in Kisarawe District, Tanzania for WaterAid funded by JICA. The project is also implemented in Nepal and Madagascar.
The survey is designed to understand the characteristics of students and their broader hygiene aspects and the current state of health and daily routines in health care facilities.
Initial activity in this assignment involved a Pre-Test survey to measure functionality of Baseline tools. This activity was carried out in selected primary schools and health care facilities in Kisarawe District, Pwani region.
Hence DataVision recruited enumerators for four days to undertake the Pre-Test and to ensure that tools are effective and efficiency for the baseline survey.
DataVision has recently hosted RUWASA technical team for a 3-day technical briefing workshop on successful implementation of the just completed Data Verification Project for the Payment by Results (PbR) Scheme in the rural water sector in Tanzania.
This 4 years project was led by DataVision as part of DVSP consortium, ran between 2018 and 2022. The workshop took place at DataVision HQ in Dar es Salaam.

Our consultants who specialized in the tools to enhance the delivery of education knowledge in developing economies spent substantial amount of time to conceptualize and implement a tool that can automate and simplify learning for the early graders in Tanzania – The tool goes by the name Mwalimu Tablet.
The Mwalimu Tablet offers the education sector an ability to enable learning in a simpler manner without the presence of a teacher. A student can listen to the instructions given by the tablet and be able to learn in a similar manner as it is done in a conventional class.
The DataVsiion International representative, Mr. William Kihula pointed out that, “As years go by, DataVision International has been investing in long term R&D initiatives to assist in streamlining our areas of focus processes that need more efficiency.
Mwalimu Tablet is one of the fruits of this R&D, we strongly believe that this solution will be able to change the education sector in the Tanzanian territory.”
