Supervision
Special forms were designed for following up on receiving and handing questionnaires at all levels and to follow up on the daily achievements of the interviewers. The supervisors distributed work on the team using a map and sample guiding list. Daily and weekly reports were produced and handed to the fieldwork coordinator and the project administration explaining the number of completed interviews, non-response cases, and the cases when households could not be contacted after three visits. Moreover, technical staff and fieldwork coordinators conducted field visits to monitor fieldwork and ensure data quality as well as to help with solving problems facing the fieldwork team.

Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
The data of this survey were collected using the sample method rather than the comprehensive count; therefore, they are subjected to two main types of errors. The sampling errors are those resulting from the sample design. They are easy to measure. The non-statistical errors, which may occur in all stages of project implementation and during data collection and data entry, include non-response errors, response errors (respondent), interview errors (interviewer), and data entry errors.
