Challenges

14.  In scaling up any reporting system, the running costs are a major
factor and should be weighed against the value added of the
system;
 Innovating the use of new technology, can delay introduction
 Providing confirmation will increase motivation of CHWs. The
lack of confirmation messages, causes the problem of duplicating
reports.
