Data Collection Notes
A Face-to-face interview approach was used for the data collection with the aid of a Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) device. This enables data transmission from the field to the headquarters to be done electronically.
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 interviews weekdays may likely be available on weekends. Reducing the number of proxy responses improves data quality.
