Digital data collection - KoBoToolbox

Digital data collection is a modern way of data collection. When done right, digital data collection significantly decreases the workload compared to paper-based data collection. Digital data collection also helps to minimise the risk of invalid answers and data loss.

Help a Child uses KoBoToolbox (web version) and KoBoCollect (Android application) for digital data collection. KoBo is free to use and great for people working in humanitarian or development settings.
