Training on Mobile Data Collection and Data Management using CommCare
CommCare is an open source cloud-based, mobile, and web platform for non-programmers that lets you make apps that you can deploy on Android devices, in the cloud and other cell phone devices. Data collection is a vital part of any developmental work.
In the previous years, data collection used to be done on paper and pen which was prone to a lot of errors and difficult to conduct on a large scale. However, the current ICT tools now allow us to create surveys, collect, manage, and upload data to storage facilities in real time. Training on mobile data collection and data management using CommCare will equip the participants with skills to author, field, and manage data collection using CommCare.
