Data Collection Mode
Face-to-face [f2f]
Two (2) teams were constituted in each state and FCT. Each team consists of two (2) persons making four (4 ) Enumerators per state .Also,One (1) Supervisor were engaged in each state. Each team covered 4 EAs every month translating to 12 EAs in each quarter.In each EA,Ten (10) HHs were interviewed and Fieldwork lasted for 22 days per month.
The team composition makes the data collection easier to manage, combined with constant fieldwork monitoring and coordination by NBS headquarters staff. It also help to identify and fix any data issues in real time and improve fieldwork and data quality as the survey progresses.
Each team spends one week in each EA and interviews take place between Wednesdays to Sundays. This reduces the use of proxy response, as it gives enumerators time to interview the eligible respondents in person. Those respondents
not available for interview weekdays may likely be available on weekends. Reducing the number of proxy response improves data quality.
