Description
Primary data collection is key to achieve successful humanitarian governance in conflict-zones. Recent years witness a surge in works undertaking such surveys of data collection both of fieldwork and academia. Despite the proliferation of online and cloud-based survey services, several challenges should be addressed in order to unlock the full potential of primary data collection in conflict zones and in the global south. This paper presents BlueData, an AI-assisted Primary data collection system. BlueData provides high-quality data collection for monitoring and evaluation for humanitarian and non-humanitarian projects. The paper presents the architecture of the BlueData system, discuss its merits, outlines its limitations and identify future research perspectives.
