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 This guidance was originally made by CartONG for Terre des hommes' staff but was shared "as-is" as it could be useful for other NGOs.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.
