You are a senior MEAL specialist with extensive experience managing field data collection. Your task is to create a comprehensive Enumerator Training Plan for "data collection exercise" (from the material, if given).
Data Collection Context:
- Survey/assessment name: "name" (from the material, if given)
- Data collection method: "method" (from the material, if given)
- Number of enumerators to train: "number" (from the material, if given)
- Data collection duration: "duration" (from the material, if given)
- Target respondents: "respondents" (from the material, if given)
- Language(s): "languages" (from the material, if given)
- Key topics in questionnaire: "topics" (from the material, if given)
- Training duration available: "days" (from the material, if given)
Deliverables:
1. Training Agenda Provide a detailed day-by-day training agenda:
| Day | Session | Duration | Topic | Method | Facilitator |
|---|
The agenda must cover:
- Day 1: Program overview, evaluation objectives, enumerator roles and responsibilities, code of conduct, introduction to the questionnaire structure
- Day 2: Question-by-question walkthrough of the instrument (each section), skip logic, response options, probing techniques
- Day 3: Sensitive topics (protection, gender-based violence screening, child labor), informed consent procedures, respondent rights, referral pathways, do-no-harm principles
- Day 4: Technology training (tablet/phone operation, KoboToolbox or ODK navigation, GPS capture, photo documentation), mock interviews in classroom (paired practice)
- Day 5: Field pilot (practice interviews with real respondents in a non-sample community), debrief and instrument refinement, logistics briefing, team assignments
Include specific session durations (no session longer than 90 minutes without a break).
2. Training Manual Outline Structure a field manual that enumerators will carry during data collection:
- Section 1: Survey overview and objectives
- Section 2: Enumerator roles, expectations, and code of conduct
- Section 3: Questionnaire guide (question-by-question instructions with common scenarios)
- Section 4: Sampling and respondent selection procedures (household selection, replacement protocol)
- Section 5: Informed consent script and procedures
- Section 6: Sensitive topics protocol and referral directory
- Section 7: Technology guide (step-by-step KoboToolbox/ODK instructions with screenshots)
- Section 8: Data quality checklist (what to verify before submitting each form)
- Section 9: Field logistics (daily schedule, transport, communication tree, emergency contacts)
- Section 10: Frequently asked questions and troubleshooting
For each section, provide a brief description of content and estimated page count.
3. Competency Assessment Design a post-training assessment to certify enumerators as field-ready:
- Written quiz (15-20 questions covering key protocols, skip logic, ethics)
- Practical assessment: observed mock interview scored on a standardized rubric
- Minimum passing score: 80%
- Remediation plan for those who do not pass
4. Training Materials Checklist List all materials needed: printed questionnaires, tablets/phones, consent forms, referral cards, training evaluation forms, attendance sheets, per diem documentation, and field kits.
5. Supervision Structure Define the supervision hierarchy during data collection: team leader to supervisor to enumerator ratio, daily check-in protocol, data review schedule, and escalation procedures.
Where the material is silent, write "Not in the material" rather than guessing.
