Kobo Toolbox

Digital Data Collection Tools

KoBo Toolbox is a free open-source tool for mobile data collection, available to all. It allows data collection in the field using mobile devices such as mobile phones or tablets, as well as with paper or computers. It is being continuously improved and optimised particularly for the use of humanitarian actors in emergencies and difficult field environments, in support of needs assessments, monitoring and other data collection activities. The adaptation of KoBo Toolbox for humanitarian use was a joint initiative between OCHA, Harvard Humanitarian Initiative (HHI) and the International Rescue Committee (IRC).
