Survey Management

We run surveys from the sampling decision to the final (weighted) analysis, with quality checks at every step.

01 / Scope

What it covers

  • Sample design, sample size calculation and sampling weights
  • Questionnaire design and translation into local languages
  • Electronic questionnaires with built-in validation, on the platform that suits the study: ODK, SurveyCTO, KoboToolbox, CSPro, Survey Solutions, and REDCap.
  • Recruitment, training and supervision of enumerators
  • Fieldwork planning, logistics and daily progress reporting
  • Data cleaning, documentation and weighted analysis, with standard errors

02 / Method

How we do it

  1. We collect data on tablets or phones, never on paper. Skip logic, range checks and consistency checks run inside the form, so many errors are stopped before they are made.

  2. During fieldwork we review incoming data every day. High-frequency checks flag outliers, missing data and unusual interview lengths, and supervisors follow up with the team the same day. A share of interviews is revisited through back-checks to confirm they took place and were recorded accurately.

  3. After fieldwork, we clean and document the data, apply sampling weights, and report estimates with their standard errors, so you know how precise each figure is.

03 / Deliverables

What you receive

  • A sampling plan and field manual
  • Tested electronic questionnaires
  • Daily fieldwork progress and data quality reports
  • A clean, weighted dataset with codebook and documentation
  • Tables and a survey report, with sampling errors for key indicators
