Well, the Malezi Bora ("child health") week training and implementation starts tomorrow here in Nairobi at the Ministry of Health.  The activity, which involves a whole host of child health interventions, including vaccination, deworming, bednet distribution, and others, is extensively monitored and evaluated by the Ministry. This year, that evaluation -- beginning with the maternal exit interviews -- will be done on mobile phones running EpiSurveyor.  That this first national level test of the web/cell version of EpiSurveyor should be done in Kenya is especially appropriate since Kenya is where the first beta testing of EpiSurveyor (on Palm) was done in 2005, and the Ministry and local WHO office have both been highly supportive of the project.

But all that starts tomorrow, and today the DataDyne team is dealing with a variety of preparatory issues, including activating and testing all phones -- all this with the power thrown out at our office by the rains today. We've set up a temporary command center at the breakfast room of the nearby Country Lodge hotel (pictured, with Tia Gao and George Njuguna).

Update at just after midnight: so the coding and bugfixing and errorchecking and phone preparations and tea drinking and biscuit binging continued long into the night, but we're ready for tomorrow.
