In the context of data collection, there is little or no cost associated with administrative data, since departments already collect such data independent of the ADP to administer their programmes effectively. However, in the context of data quality, there is a need to continuously monitor and strengthen administrative data. We also built automated systems for data quality checking and worked closely with districts to address the issues that these systems detected. Our new strategy will deploy three levers to improve data quality. To this end, unlocking the power of administrative data is critical.
