Introduction
Data collection has always been an integral part of development work. In the past, this task was performed with paper and pen, which made it prone to error, difficult to conduct on a large scale, and high in transaction costs.
ICT tools such as mobile devices and software that allow users to create surveys, collect, manage and upload data to storage facilities in real-time, have reduced the conventional challenges associated with remote data collection.
It is with this backdrop that we have designed a 5 days training course in Mobile Data Collection using ONA and KoBo Toolbox.
If you have always wanted to learn how to collect, manage and analyze project data using mobile devices, this training course is for you.

Who Should Attend
This training course is suitable for anyone who is interested in learning how to collect and manage data using mobile devices.

Duration
5 Days

Course Objectives
The course will introduce participants to tools and techniques to collect data for project/programme outcomes to stakeholders using innovative Mobile data gathering tools.
At the end of the course, you will become familiar with using ICT tools and methods to conduct data collection, statistical analysis, and reporting.

Introduction
Data collection has always been an integral part of development work. In the past, this task was performed with paper and pen, which made it prone to error, difficult to conduct on a large scale, and high in transaction costs.

ICT tools such as mobile devices and software that allows users to create surveys, collect, manage and upload data to storage facilities in real-time, have reduced the conventional challenges associated with remote data collection.

If you have always wanted to learn how to collect, manage and analyze project data using mobile devices, this training course is for you.

Who should Attend?
This training course is suitable for anyone who is interested in learning how to collect and manage project data using mobile devices.

Requirements
This training is designed for participants who are reasonably proficient in English and have an understanding of basic ICT concepts.

Duration
5 Days

Course Objectives
The course will introduce participants to tools and techniques to gather data for project/programme outcomes to stakeholders using innovative Mobile data gathering tools.
