WHO WE ARE
Better data.
Bigger impact.
Kobo is a nonprofit technology organization that creates and supports open-source tools and services to improve how data is collected, managed, and used in humanitarian, development, and human rights work.
Through our initiatives, Kobo advances equitable data solutions. We equip communities and organizations with the technology, training, insights, and services they need to turn field data into real-world change.
How we advance equitable data
“To support lasting development for the world’s most vulnerable, the World Bank relies on our extensive partnership with Kobo. Kobo’s simple but effective technology helps inform how billions of dollars in development funding can deliver the greatest impact. Over 1,300 development projects worldwide— with a combined investment of over 100 billion USD— have been trained in the use of KoboToolbox as a real-time monitoring solution. This helps improve transparency, effectiveness, and accountability in crucial initiatives for addressing poverty and achieving sustainable development.”
