A digital template for tracking infrastructure
Record the condition and status of important infrastructure like schools, towns, transportation, and more.
This baseline survey template for infrastructure tracking is designed for humanitarian teams working on-site anywhere in the world, including in remote or challenging areas.
Customize it to fit your use case and identify problems, needs, and areas for improvement.
What's in this infrastructure tracking template
SurveyCTO enables teams in humanitarian aid, research, and on-site operations to conduct high-quality assessments using our suite of native features.
This template makes use of our case management functionality, a special feature for tracking data collected for the same subjects at many points over time. This template is also designed as a baseline survey, so you can use it to collect your first round of assessment data, and then use the same forms for future rounds of data collection on the same infrastructure.
Use this template to:
- Register cases (towns in this template) or any other infrastructure you are tracking
- Assign forms to each case, and then unassign them once they are completed
- Assign cases to specific data collectors
- Close cases once all forms are completed
You’ll also find a helpful companion guide to walk you through everything in an accessible, step-by-step format.
Use this template as-is for your next infrastructure assessment, or adjust it using our online form builder, through Google Sheets or Excel, or by enlisting our thoughtful AI tools for ideas.
How to use this baseline survey template to track infrastructure
This template provides everything needed for baseline surveys to track the condition of schools, water, and transport infrastructure across towns. Each surveyed town is considered a case and assigned to one of ten enumerators.
The template provides four SurveyCTO datasets and four forms. The forms provide questions for:
- Enrollment
- School assessment
- Water assessment
- Transport assessment
All of these elements can be edited to fit your particular needs, making this template a fit for evaluating everything from physical buildings to digital assets.
Using our digital infrastructure assessment template ensures you cover critical areas for evaluating important details while eliminating manual data entry, minimizing errors, and delivering complete and accurate results.
