The Bangsamoro Development Agency (BDA) adopts an online digital data share system aimed to strengthen its Management Information System. This development will enhance data transfer and the monitoring and evaluation mechanism of the agency.
Through this advance data management system, any data from the communities like barangay profile, training reports, evaluation reports, rapid assessment activities, photo or video files or any other data in digital form can be shared quickly from the fields in different regions to the BDA Central Management Office.
In this undertaking, BDA will utilize tablet that have Android operating system, laptop and desktop computers.
BDA regional staff will provide inputs in the digital forms installed in the device and then share it quickly whenever Wifi or signal from telecom is available.
The system will utilize Google Drive, an online software provided by Google, for sharing data online. When one of the users will store the data online, it becomes accessible or shared to fellow group members within few seconds.
Around 56 BDA staff from central and regional management offices were trained on the data share system from November 25-December 15, 2013 at Cotabato City. The activity was sponsored by the European Union through the International Monitoring Team – Humanitarian Rehabilitation and Development Component.
Victor C. Sapar, an IT Specialist who facilitated the training said, “Using digital data share can save time and even lives like when you do rapid survey in a calamity stricken community that needs quick response.”
The facilitator pointed out that the system shall aid in prompt decision-making of the BDA considering the fast transfer of information within the organization.
Among the steps undertaken are setting of Google account for participants. This was important since the software requires use of Google Drive where all shared files are stored.
In developing the skills of the participants on file management and file storage, several activities were undertaken such as picture taking for photo storage, typing speed, video capturing, data gathering using online stored form, making of folders and sub-folders online, storage, editing and saving of files online using the system.
Sapar also provided tips on data management and data storage such as file naming, two-hand typing, use of folder and sub-folders, others. He likewise gave tips on account safety and security.
According to Ustadz Mohammad Yacob, Executive Director of BDA, the system will be of great help for BDA to strengthen its data management system and also for capacity building for its staff.
“I expect from you to apply the learning you get from this training because BDA, your Regions chose you for this, and it is your responsibility now to make use of this for the development of BDA,” Ustadz Yacob said.
BDA has Central Management Office based in Cotabato City and seven Regional Management Offices namely Central Mindanao, Southern Mindanao, Davao, Ranaw (Lanao), Zamboanga Peninsula, Zamboanga-Basilan, and Sulu - Tawi-tawi.
The agency is tasked to determine, lead and manage relief, rehabilitation and development projects in the conflict affected areas of Mindanao.
BDA is currently drafting the Bangsamoro Development Plan in support to the proposed establishment of the Bangsamoro Government, a new political entity that will replace the present Autonomous Region on Muslim Mindanao by 2016.
