Data Collection Notes
Before conducting the national child labour survey, a pilot survey was conducted from 15th to 18th October 2007.
That pilot survey had the following objectives:
1. To test the consistency of questionnaires for adults and children ;
2. To test the understanding of questionnaires by enumerators and interviewees;
3. To assess the time needed to fill each type of questionnaire;
4. To verify the field utilisation of the instructions given in the manual of enumerators;
5. To test the overall tool put in place for field data collection and data entry.
After a training of 6 days designed to provide introduction to interview techniques for enumerators, a technical team of fifteen people from different partner institutions were deployed to conduct field data collection.From 16th to 20th December 2007, a technical meeting of the pilot survey team was held to harmonise the questionnaire and finalise the different survey tools.
