The same three supervisors who were involved in the baseline survey were selected for 

the endline survey. One supervisor was selected from among the supervisors of 

CREHPA, who were involved in prior studies in AMK s projects. The supervisors were 

responsible for implementing qualitative tools, supervising the fieldwork and field 

editing/cross checks of the completed individual questionnaires.  

The eight interviewers were selected from local interviewers with experience in surveys 

in the AMK projects in Baglung. In fact, almost all (six out of eight interviewers) were 

the same interviewers in the baseline survey.  

1.7 Training and Fieldwork  

The duration of the fieldwork was from January 19 to February 4, 2003. All members of 

the field team received two days of intensive training and orientation for conceptual 

clarity and standardization of procedures for administering the questionnaires. They were 

further trained for the qualitative component. The modes of training and orientation 

included class lectures, role plays and mock interviews. Mock interviews were conducted 

to enhance the skill of the field researchers to administer the questionnaires. The 

assistance of AMK district staff and field staff was sought by the field teams for 

developing rapport with the village communities and for scheduling of village coverage.  

The entire field period was 19 days in three VDCs (Bhakunde, Tityang and Kusmisera) 

and 16 days in the Kalika municipality.  

1.8 Data Management and Analysis  

The completed questionnaires were manually edited and coded at the CREHPA office. 

The quantitative data was entered into the dBase IV software. After cleaning, the data 

was transferred into the SPSS package. Frequencies and cross tabulations were also 

generated for analysis. Similarly, the qualitative part was also analyzed and translated 

into English to be incorporated into the report.
