This website is structured around a "MDC Toolkit" composed of more than 40 tools and tutorials, covering all MDC phases and published under an open source license. It is combined with a "Data Visualisation Toolkit" whose purpose is to help field staff improve their data visualisation practices (which may be found in the "Analyse your data" section).



CartONG & Tdh have also published their work documentation on personal data protection. A "Data Protection Starter Kit", as well as an auto-evaluation tool and 12 tutorials created for the use of field delegations, are thus also available on this website.

Committed to collaborative working, CartONG & Tdh welcome your feedback in regard to what has already been published, and we are interested in your suggestions about ways to improve the tools and tutorials. You may send your comments directly to the 3 Project Coordinators via our online contact form: www.mdc-toolkit.org/contact

CartONG

CartONG, a French NGO, was set up in 2006 by cartographers who wanted to improve the way aid agencies were using maps and geographic information. It has since expanded and now offers many innovative tools of information management, mapping, analysis and communication to aid organizations.
