To ensure that our work is being carried out properly, we have incorporated a range of verification and monitoring strategies:
- Technology: We focus on the use of contemporary data collection technologies, most often on mobile platforms. We routinely test mobile applications several times to ensure error-free form submissions prior to data collection.
- Data Collection Team: The data collection team is experienced, professional, and adaptable. We rigorously screen employees to ensure they have the requisite experience, are familiar with the survey platforms we use, and linguistically and culturally proficient in the areas in which they will be working.
- Quality Assurance: We have developed a streamlined protocol to ensure our top leadership is constantly kept abreast of every project, and regularly check on enumerators and field investigators through a variety of mechanisms.
