KoboToolbox
Open-Source Field Data Collection & M&E Platform for Humanitarian and Development Organisations.
KoboToolbox is a free, open-source data collection platform developed by the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative, widely used by nonprofits, humanitarian agencies, governments, and researchers to collect field data, conduct surveys, and manage monitoring and evaluation (M&E) workflows — even in low-connectivity environments.
Field data challenges for nonprofits & social purpose organisations
Field teams in rural, remote, or crisis-affected areas often rely on paper-based data collection.
Limited internet connectivity makes real-time data entry difficult.
Manual consolidation leads to delays, data errors, and limited programme visibility.
Small organisations lack access to affordable, scalable M&E systems.
KoboToolbox enables offline-first data collection through mobile devices, allowing field teams to capture structured data and sync it automatically when connectivity is available.
Key capabilities of KoboToolbox
Four core capabilities that make it a leading field data platform for the social sector.
Indian language support
