Ensure that every student that has ever participated in our schools is accounted for in the database and that the class counts align with our Program Dashboard report numbers.
Review each student profile for any missing information and then work with the various program officers and school officials to gather that information and fill it in the appropriate fields within the database.
Review hard copies of paperwork and hand written records maintained by the program officers to ascertain what data is there and needs to be added to the database.
Populate Apps that don’t currently have data or are missing large quantities of data such as the School App, Incident App, Exam App, etc.

Work closely with each Program Officer to identify duplicates, determine which record is accurate and then delete the incorrect record.
With the support of the Program Officers, identify possible inaccuracies in the data already in the database and work to correct them.
Clean the data ensuring proper capitalization, consistency and accuracy of spelling especially related to village names and schools.
Regularly create data back-ups to restore data if lost at any point.

Enhancing the database

Recommend new fields, apps, and reports that are needed based on the data that needs to be housed and feedback from the program team.
