The main fieldwork team was selected according to the training course.
Field work visits by both fieldwork and project management staff for monitoring and following up data collection process and progress of work, An average of two visits for each governorate, a bout 90% of completed questionnaires was reviewed and corrected if needed, comments and notes were directed to the team accordingly.
Different levels of supervision and monitoring toke place a according to the following division:
Fieldworkers
Fieldworkers supervisors
Fieldwork coordinator. (Each of them has responsibilities in monitoring )
Project management receive a daily progress report about completeness and response.
Conducting a refreshment training course during the stage of data collection for emphasizing the main issues of training and answering questions of fieldworkers about issues faced them in the field.
