Data Collection Process

The data collection exercise identified and recruited enumerators from the informal settlements in Eastlands and prior to undertaking data collection, the enumerators were trained and translations were done jointly to ensure uniformity while asking the questions. Upon completion of the training, the evaluation team conducted roll-play amongst themselves in order to pre-test the survey tools for consistency and flow which informed final revisions on the survey tools. Data collection was conducted for 6 days.

Data Analysis and Report Writing

Prior to analysis, the consultant undertook data cleaning which involved identifying responses that were improbable (outside the normally expected range) or impossible – outliers, inconsistent data, etc. During the analysis, descriptive statistics was generated for each question to show frequencies, proportions, and averages. Thematic coding and analysis was conducted for qualitative data by coding themes and patterns that were important and associated to specific research questions and have been incorporated in the report to triangulate quantitative findings. A draft report was prepared in line with the format required. The consultant presented key findings to the Project Team and incorporated the comments or additional information in preparing the final evaluation report.
