This training is a thorough introduction to the methods and best practices used in collecting data about populations using a sample of individuals or households. From answering the fundamental question, “what is a survey?” to a review of the analysis and reporting of the survey data, we cover all stages of the survey process. By using clear instructions “on what to do” supported by theoretical justifications, participants will gain confidence in not only producing survey results, but also critically evaluating the results of surveys they may use to make decisions. The focus will be on conducting household surveys in Ghana.
