2020 Angola Digital Health Factsheet

With support from The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the eMobile tool was launched in 2015 in Angola with a primary focus on malaria control. The geographic scope of eMobile’s deployment is impressive with scaling to 32 municipalities or districts nationwide. 

eMobile uses an application called KoBoCollect, a free open-source resource for mobile data collection using ODK XForms software. Objectives of the project are to:

• Promote malaria mitigation and use of public health information
• Document awareness and behaviour change
• Increase engagement, information technology and data capability of community development and sanitary agents (ADECOS)
• Develop interactive data tools to track community trends and needs in real time
• Identify strategies to expand the technical and data service capacities of the project’s Mobile Movies Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) to support a fully-scaled network of ADECOS
