Today, many businesses and organizations are already experiencing the benefits of mobile data collection tools that offer many exciting and innovative possibilities for improving the quality of any dataset and assessments as they enable cheaper and quicker access to a better quality of analyzable data than traditional paper-based methods. Mobile data collection (MDC) allows businesses and organizations to gather a lot of quantitative data using mobile devices. It reduces cost, increases speed, and data quality, improves control and flexibility of fieldwork, safer storage and backup, is user-friendly, and reduces environmental impact.
With a conviction that the benefits of using MDC are made use of, OWS Development Fund has recently shifted from tedious, time and resource-consuming paper-based data collection to consistent use of KoboToolbox and ODK platforms to gather pieces of information related, but not limited to, quantitative assessments, baseline and endline surveys, KAP surveys, post-distribution monitoring (PDM), mapping services (health facilities, water points), surveillance and case finding (cholera outbreak etc.) Our organization has delivered subsequent hands-on training in all active projects one of the latest is an event that took place in our Bok Protection and Education field staff on November 29, 2023, in Bok town, Dollo zone, Somali region.
