Combine mobile data collection with SPSS for end‑to‑end research intelligence. This program teaches participants to design and deploy mobile surveys, automate field data collection, and analyze results using SPSS. The curriculum covers survey design best practices, mobile data collection tools (e.g., ODK, KOBO), data export, and SPSS for statistical analysis and reporting. Through hands‑on exercises, attendees will build skills in creating efficient data collection instruments and deriving insights from the data. This program is ideal for researchers, M&E officers, and data analysts in development, health, and social sciences.
