How we advance equitable data
Kobo Academy

“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.”
