The World Bank decided to build their own solution. known as Survey Solutions, it combines a mobile app, a survey design tool, and server software that manages surveys and aggregates data. The mobile component of the solution was created using Xamarin, which was chosen by the team because it let them use their existing C# skills to create a highly complex, yet robust, mobile app, and allowed them to jump right into mobile development.

The app was first released in September of 2013 and has evolved significantly since then. Because of intermittent or slow internet connections, survey administrators need to be able to store data on devices for uploading later. Xamarin enabled the developers to create on-device data storage that could hold the results of surveys that sometimes contain thousands of questions and a system that supports complex questionnaire structures with branching logic, dynamically created question lists, pop-ups, radio buttons, and more, all on devices with a wide range of processing capabilities.

The Xamarin application created by a small team of eight has been a great success, with documented use in more than 30 countries and 50 survey projects, several of which are major, ongoing population surveys.
