Data Collection Notes
100 enumerators were trained for two weeks to ensure that field teams fully understood the requirements of the study, the survey methodology and the questionnaire of which 90 enumerators were selected to conduct the survey. The 15 best enumerators were designated as team leaders.
Field managers conducted spot-checks by attending a number of interviews of each enumerator. This approach helped to ensure that enumerators followed correct procedures and that corrective action could be taken timely where enumerators experienced problems regarding any aspect of survey implementation or questionnaire administration.
A pilot survey to test the survey methodology, questionnaire effectiveness and the readiness of enumerators to go to field was conducted before fieldwork commenced. The pilot survey also enabled the survey team to test and finalize the questionnaire and its translation.

Supervision
Under 15 team leaders, the 75 enumerators collected data.Field managers conducted spot-checks by attending a number of interviews of each enumerator. This approach helped to ensure that enumerators followed correct procedures and that corrective action could be taken timely where enumerators experienced problems regarding any aspect of survey implementation or questionnaire administration.
To complement and verify these quality control measures, Access to Finance Rwanda (AFR), Yakini and the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda ( NISR) conducted independent field visits to verify field teams' implementation of the survey methodology and the interviewing process. Spot checks were also carried out on a number of completed questionnaires to assess completeness and logical consistency of interview data.
