Field Research & Assessments

Structured surveys, school assessments and field operations.

The problem we solve

Data collection needs trained teams, supervision and verifiable records. Without structured field operations, response rates drift, coverage is uneven and the resulting dataset cannot be defended.

Scope — what is included

  • Household surveys and respondent listing
  • Student and teacher surveys, and standardised school assessments
  • Baseline and endline administration
  • Enumerator recruitment, training and field supervision

Methodology

  • CAPI
  • CATI
  • Standardised assessments
  • Structured enumerator training
  • Field supervision
  • Respondent verification

Deliverables

  • Verified survey records
  • Fieldwork reports with coverage and progress
  • Sample-disposition records for every selected unit
  • Documented datasets with collection metadata

What we need from you

Research decisions stay with your team. To deliver this work we need you to:

  • Approve the instrument, consent language and field protocol
  • Provide ethics clearance and any required permissions
  • Nominate a point of contact for field decisions and escalation

Illustrative workflow

A synthetic example, included to show how the work runs. It is not a past engagement and does not describe a real client.

An endline assessment must reach a fixed student panel across multiple schools within one term.

  1. 1Recruit and train assessors against a written training protocol
  2. 2Run a supervised pilot day and correct administration errors
  3. 3Track daily coverage against the sample list, school by school
  4. 4Close out with sample-disposition records for every selected student
