    Abstract

    Gilgel Gibe Health and Demographic Surveillance System (GGHDSS) was established in 2005 and is located surrounding the Gilgel Gibe Hydroelectric dam, within four districts of Jimma Zone, Oromia Region, Southwest Ethiopia. Its global position is between latitudes 07.4253 and 07.5558oN and longitudes 037.1153 and 037.2033oE with agroclimatic zone of midland. The center comprised of 11 kebeles (smallest administrative structure in Ethiopia) of which three are small towns.

    The primary purpose of this surveillance system is to monitor basic vital events indicators and generate relevant health, demographic and socioeconomic information for policies and programs. In addition, the center supports graduate and post graduate level research undertakings and conduct molecular to population level collaborative research with local and international stakeholders.

    Populations of the center are updated every six months with resident data collectors supported by supervisors, local guides and a surveillance team. The data are currently entered at Jimma University with the help of four data entry clerks and a data manager using HRS2 database. During the update pregnancy observations and outcome, death, in and out migration, marital change and locations are updated. Both electronic and hard copies of the data are stored at the center.

    Supervision

    Supervision is conducted at two levels - level 1 includes supervisory support by resident supercisor assigned for 3-5 nearby Kebeles each. These are individuals upgraded from data collector level who worked form more than 10 years in the surveillance system. They are responsible to give on site supervisory support, request for materials and distribute to data collectors. In addition to on the job supervision, they review, edit, correct error with data collectors and submit to data editors at office level. The second group of supervision is made by surveillance team where theri activities are based on data error and issues that appeare from the database and during monthly surveillance meeting through on site visit of data collectors, supervisors and households.
    Data Collection Notes

    Before each round update, refresher trainings for field workers, supervisors, data manager, data editors and surveillance team are given. Field data collectors are high school graduates and residents of the respective assigned area.
