Tonga Capacity Building in the application of Open Source Tools
summary
One-year FIT pilot delivers hands‑on training in KoBo Toolbox, QGIS, drones, and Excel dashboards to four Ministry divisions, moving data collection from paper to tablets; participants build and deploy forms, test them in the market, and process drone imagery into maps. The program runs three phases (inception, July training, pending evaluation) and produces concrete follow‑ups: at least four projects planned or started (weekly market surveys, annual ag survey, forest inventory, export database), showing the approach works in practice.
