Description: Data collection is the primary and most important step for research or any survey. The most critical objective of data collection is ensuring that information-rich and quality data is collected for statistical analysis so that data-driven decisions can be made for research or survey. Data Collection can be done in three (3) ways, Paper Assisted Personal Interview, Computer Assisted Personal interview (CAPI) and Mixed model with integration of Geographical Information System (GIS) to collect survey data. Quality data allows individual researchers, institutions to establish baselines, benchmarks, and goals to keep moving forward. Data allows setting performance goals, therefore the quality of data in surveys is critical. The absence of quality data makes it difficult to make evidence-based policy and planning decisions, monitor trends and evaluate interventions. This training course on Data Collection provides solution in the production of quality data through integration of technologies in Data Collection.
