KoboToolbox is an open source data collection platform used globally in humanitarian action, development, environmental protection, peacebuilding, and human rights. KoboToolbox was designed to collect high quality data even in the most challenging environments. Using KoboToolbox’s intuitive interface and easily customizable forms, users can collect data online or offline, with mobile devices or web forms.
Quickly collecting reliable information in a crisis is critical to effectively responding to the needs of affected communities, especially in under-resourced areas. Effective and high quality data collection is often most critically needed in areas with limited resources, offline settings, or humanitarian and development projects. Traditional paper-based data collection methods and manual data entry can be time consuming, error prone, and difficult to manage.
Many local organizations have limited formal training in data collection and insufficient resources to hire specialists. As a result, organizations working most closely with local communities often do not have access to the tools and skills that would support them to work most effectively.
KoboToolbox provides a digital solution for data collection that is accessible to everyone and supports sustainable development by empowering local organizations with quality data collection tools. It works offline, on any device, and enables more efficient data collection, management, and visualization. With features like skip logic, validation, and multimedia inputs, users can efficiently capture quality data even in low-resource settings. The platform enables secure data synchronization, visualization, and analysis, supporting more informed decision-making and project evaluation. By streamlining data processes, KoboToolbox empowers organizations around the world with high quality data, so they can make an even greater impact on the ground.
