Support in the form of advanced capacity building activities and provision of equipment is instrumental for scale up and replication of TA activities in any country. The pilot implementation of CAPI-related activities in Lao PDR, Sri Lanka and Viet Nam enabled the three implementing agencies to adopt CAPI in their upcoming surveys and censuses. Furthermore, with rapid advancement in technology and internet connectivity, the possibility of piloting other novel forms of data collection such as web-based, SMS-based and Interactive Voice Response surveys increases.
