Socioeconomic Research and Studies

Social survey method is a systematic research approach that collects standardized information from individuals or groups through structured questioning to study social phenomena, attitudes, and behaviors.

We have a well qualified team of experts who bring considerable experience and expertise in the following socioeconomic areas:

• Baseline Survey
• Impact Evaluation
• Project Assessment
• Performance Evaluation
• Project Reviews
• Mid-Term Evaluation
• Project End line survey
• Stakeholder analysis

Mode of Data Collection

• Face-to-Face (CAPI - Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing): Best for complex questionnaires, low-literacy populations, sensitive topics (builds rapport), long surveys. High cost.
• Telephone (CATI - Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing): Faster, cheaper than F2F. Declining coverage/response rates (mobile-only households). Limited for visual aids/long surveys.
• Online (CAWI - Computer Assisted Web Interviewing): Very cost-effective, fast, good for visual/audio stimuli. Major concerns: Sampling bias (internet access/use), lower response rates, lack of control over environment.
• Mail (PAPI - Paper and Pencil Interviewing): Low cost per contact, anonymous. Very low response rates, slow, risk of incomplete/missing data.
• Mixed-Mode: Combining modes (e.g., mail invitation + online survey + CATI follow-up) can improve coverage and response rates but introduces mode effects.
