Introduction to the RDQA Program
RDQA is a tracker program with three stages:
Data verification
M&E Assessment
Action plan
Currently, this guide only provides the required set up (program set up, stages, data elements, etc) in a very standardized way, to know to change these based on your needs, you can always visit our Metadata management guide. There you will find everything you need to make changes without affecting the overall performance of the RDQA program.
Each of the stage is divided in three sections, the stages details where you will find the configuration for such stage, the option set and data elements. We strongly recommend, if planning to work from scratch, to start the option sets, proceed with the data elements and finally with the stage details to include the corresponding data elements on it.
Program
This section contains the basic program configuration within DHIS2 to get started with the RDQA program and its stages.

Stage: Data verification
Data verification is the stage where the quantitative comparison of reported data is performed. This includes the review of the timeliness, completeness and availability. To perform these task, a set of data elements and options sets are required.

Stage: M&E System Assessment
This the second part of the program. This section of the program is in charge of the qualiative assessment of the relative strenghts and weaknessess of functional area. The purpose of this is to identify potencial threats to data quality posed by the design and implementation of data magnament and reporting systems.
