Field Data Collection
Delivering excellence through specialized expertise in international development.
Expert Solutions
in Collection
We deliver reliable primary data through integrated collection models that combine traditional fieldwork with cutting-edge digital solutions. Our agile, pre-positioned teams are equipped to deploy on-site for face-to-face household surveys, community focus group discussions (FGDs), key informant interviews (KIIs), and observational studies across Zambia, Malawi, Kenya, and Ghana.
Complementing our physical presence, we offer robust remote data collection capabilities including Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviews (CATI), SMS-based surveys, and virtual focus groups via secure digital platforms—allowing us to reach hard-to-access populations, maintain continuity during emergencies, and reduce logistical costs without compromising data quality. We leverage industry-leading mobile data platforms including ODK, Kobo Toolbox, SurveyCTO, and CAPI to ensure real-time data uploads, geo-tagging, audio capture, and automated quality flags. Our data types span quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods, all meticulously adhering to ethical protocols, informed consent, and strict confidentiality standards.
