INTRODUCTION
Data collection and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) have always been integral parts of development work. In the past, these tasks were performed with paper and pen, which made them prone to error, difficult to conduct on a large scale, and high in transaction costs. Information and communication technology (ICT) tools, including hardware like mobile phones and tablets, applications with the capacity to create digital surveys, and software that allows users to upload data to storage facilities in real-time, have reduced the conventional challenges associated with remote data collection and M&E.
DURATION
5 Days.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The course will introduce participants to tools and techniques to gather data for project/ programmer outcomes to stakeholders using innovative Mobile data gathering tools.
