Supervision
The field work consisted of 3 coordinators, coordinating the work of 10 supervisors, 24 team leaders and 96 interviewers. In many occasions the team leaders and field editors conducted also survey interviews. So altogether the survey interviewing was carried out by a total of 120 interviewers.
To complement and verify these quality control measures, NISR and MIFOTRA 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.
