Scoping Your Data Collection Project

The aim of scoping is to get an in-depth understanding of field activities required for the success of a data collection exercise. It includes:

Understanding the field staff — team hierarchy, technological literacy, experience, etc.
Identifying regional challenges — languages, internet availability, mobile penetration, etc.
Accounting for the nature of the data collection — resources required, frequency of collection, etc.

Survey Planning & Questionnaire Design

Designing the right data collection forms and ensuring that you capture all the right data is fundamental to successful data collection. This includes:

Designing the most appropriate forms — adding the right questions, incorporating knowledge of the survey population, and making the forms user-friendly and easy to analyze.
Ensuring high-quality data collection — adding a set of data validations, skip logic, and running thorough quality checks.
Mapping indicators and outcomes — ensuring that the key outcomes that need to be met can be defined, indicators can be mapped, and outcomes can be attained.
