Research Methods and Survey Techniques Training for Baseline Survey Team

Shahnawaz Chachar conducted a comprehensive training session on research methods and survey techniques for a baseline survey team working on a project focused on Camel Jockey children. This project was implemented by the IRC (Indus Resource Center, Khairpur) and funded by UNICEF. The training took place in Shahdadkot and Ghotki, Sindh, Pakistan, and aimed to equip the survey team with the necessary skills and knowledge to conduct an effective and rigorous baseline survey. The training covered a wide range of topics, including best practices for conducting interviews (structured and semi-structured), various data collection methodologies (quantitative and qualitative), effective beneficiary selection strategies, and accurate data entry procedures. Emphasis was placed on ethical considerations in research, data privacy, and ensuring the validity and reliability of the collected data. This training was crucial for the project’s success, as the baseline survey data would inform program design, implementation, and evaluation.
