Support materials to train your teams in MDC

17 May 2021

This blog was jointly produced by Terre des hommes (Tdh) and CartONG as part of the Mobile Data Collection Toolkit first published on the mdc-toolkit website (more information below). It was transferred to the IM Resource Portal in May 2021.

On this blog post you can find the material you need to provide effective training to the teams that will run your MDC project on the field. This includes material for the training of enumerators as well as more in depth training for the survey managers and coordinators.

MDC awareness raising

This training material covers the principles of MDC, but focuses on the use of Kobo & ODK Collect as tools.

Enumerators - Training material

This training material covers the principles of MDC, but focuses on the use of ODK Collect.

Survey managers - Training material

The majority of this training material is "tool-agnostic" (can be used with any ODK-related MDC tool), but when tools are mentioned focuses on the use of Kobo & ODK Collect, with the exception of Module 8 that specifically focuses on the use of SurveyCTO.


Sur ce post de blog, vous trouverez le matériel dont vous aurez besoin pour offrir une formation efficace aux équipes qui réaliseront votre projet de collecte de données mobiles sur le terrain. Cela comprend du matériel pour la formation des enquêteurs, ainsi qu'une formation plus approfondie pour les gestionnaires et les coordinateurs de l'enquête et une formation intermédiaire pour ceux ayant besoin d'être sensibilisés à la collecte de données sur mobile.

The MDC Toolkit

What is it?

The MDC Toolkit was jointly produced by Terre des hommes (Tdh) and CartONG to help humanitarians and development actors use Mobile Data Collection (MDC) more efficiently in the field. It was originally set up as a website in 2017, and regularly updated, with all content accessible under a CC-BY-SA license to help increase the level of awareness and to help build capacity on this topic.

The MDC Toolkit is comprised of tutorials and training material concerning all phases of MDC, from thinking through the prerequisites of using MDC to the preparation of one's forms and tools and the analysis of one's data. This guidance was originally made by CartONG for Terre des hommes' staff but was shared "as-is" as it could be useful for other NGOs. A large percentage of the MDC documentation available was tool-agnostic (i.e. could be used with any ODK-related MDC tool), but when tools were mentioned it focused on the use of Kobo & ODK Collect, or SurveyCTO for more advanced MDC.

The existing MDC-toolkit website will be decommissioned in early 2022. Its full content has been transfered to the IM Resource Portal.
