The CLCA Project support the North Africa team transition from any paper-based data collection they may be conducting to the use of mobile data collection tools [(Open Data Kit (ODK)] because of the numerous advantages this brings onboard, such as i) Collect of high quality data (because of programmed consistency checks & timely remote data quality checks), ii) that is traceable _ through the use of GPS coordinates & auto-time capture, and iii) available in real time; it does not require an independent data entry exercise. The XLS form (English & French) will be programmed in ODK tool to generate data on Conservation Agriculture practices and/or Conventional practices in Algeria and to track each agricultural campaign throughout the Project period.
