After reaching the village, the Field Supervisor first met the village stake
holders and asked them about village boundaries. Then they made the map
of the village with the help of village stakeholders.
Then the supervisor divided whole village into 4 segments and identifies
the location of households and then allots the household to the pair of
enumerators for the interview.
Coordinator starts with spot-checking of the interview conducted by the
first pair of enumerators and then does the spot-checking of the interviews
conducted by the other pair of enumerators. The observations of spot-
checking are shared to the enumerators immediately after the interview is
over.
The Field Supervisor during the course of interviews by the enumerators
identifies the location of other respondents and takes pre-appointment for
the interviews.
After returning from the field, the Field Supervisor and coordinators sits
with all the enumerators and does through the scrutiny of the
questionnaires.
GAIN team also reviewed the quality and progress in data collection of each
sub-team separately on weekly basis over the telephonic discussion and
ensured that the quality protocols are followed throughout the data
collection.
During these review meetings, the challenges and difficulties faced by the
teams including the doubts in the questionnaire were discussed and
addressed. The findings of the spot and back checking are done by the
coordinator were also shared to concerned enumerators during these
review meetings. The enumerators were asked to not repeat any errors in
data collection.
The findings of the spot and back checking were shared to the concerned
enumerators in the field itself to ensure that the mistakes are not committed to
data collection. The spot check and back check done by the coordinators helped
to minimize the errors by less than 5 percent.
