Study Methodology
The TPM exercise employed the use of quantitative methods, and data were collected from both primary and secondary sources. Quantitative data was obtained remotely through phone interviews held with beneficiaries using a structured questionnaire. In addition, relevant literature, including CBI documents were reviewed.
The quantitative data collection through mobile phones leveraged on Kobo collect. The survey targeted household heads, their spouses or any adult household member who was knowledgeable to respond to questions on the CBI program and process. Informed consent was obtained from all participants of the monitoring prior to being interviewed.
. A systematic random sampling based on the beneficiary master list was used to identify individual respondents to participate in the survey. This helped to ensure the sample size was statistically representative of program participants in the targeted location.

Data Collection Process
The use of android mobile phones for data collection eliminated the need for manual data entry; thereby reducing data entry errors. Training of enumerators was conducted to build a shared understanding concerning survey methodology, interview techniques and ethical considerations. Validity and rigor were enhanced during the interpretative analysis through a series of feedback sessions with members of the assessment team.
Data collection was carried out in compliance with human subjects’ ethical requirements. Informed consent was sought for all participating respondents, having been fully briefed on voluntary participation. Privacy and confidentiality for all respondents and no information obtained for purposes of this exercise were linked to any individual
Data Analysis and Report Writing
Data analysis involved descriptive statistics such as frequencies, averages, percentages and proportions based on responses to each question. Cross tabulations were applied to measure the variation of information among the different groups of respondents. This was triangulated with other relevant documents, including the cash distribution documents/payment sheet and master beneficiary lists. The results have been presented in the form of tables and charts for ease of interpretation.
