Main fieldwork in the West Bank and Gaza Strip started on November 28, 2004 and was
completed on January 25, 2005.
17 mobile teams in the West Bank and Gaza Strip undertook fieldwork. Each team consisted
of 3-5 interviewers, one supervisor, one assistant and one field editor.

We have implemented field editing which included further spot-checks if needed. The field
editor thoroughly checked and corrected any obvious mistakes and slips.
4.5.3: Editing in the Field
Fieldwork procedures and organization were designed to ensure adequate supervision and the
collection of high quality data. To this end, several quality control measures were used
including, periodic sudden visits by the professional staff to the field team, adequate
communications between the central office staff and the field in the form of daily and weekly
reporting, re-interviewing of about 10% the establishments by supervisors, observation of
interviewers by supervisors, distribution of written memos to the field when confusion arises
