Staff and Survey Structure
Survey staff is made up of the principal consultant and coordinator, a PhD in Anthropology with
an emphasis on quantitative field methods and extensive research and survey experience in Haiti;
1 home based operator who handles central logistic, backstopping and data monitoring via
telephone (i.e. calls 10% of respondents daily) 2 supervisor-enumerators; 4 enumerators; 6
motorcycles; 1 vehicle; 1 driver. The survey staff will handle all planning and data oversight.
Enumerators: All our enumerators have worked with us before and have demonstrated their
credibility. A full list CVs is provided on request.
Data Quality and Management
Data quality standards are assured through a strategy of paying enumerators per questionnaire,
incentive bonus, close supervision, use of computer tablets, and reliance on cell phone follow up.
Specifically, enumerators are paid per accurate and honestly completed survey. They are given a
per survey bonus if the survey is completed within the scheduled time. Tablets allow for daily data
compounding making it possible to continually review and compare data with respect to each
surveyor thereby monitoring competence and performance. Next day cell phone follow up (for 1
of every 10 surveys) during which a key question is verified gives us yet another means to ensure
that the survey was conducted.
