Study Design & Instrument Programming
We work with you to finalise the data collection instruments and programme them onto our digital platforms — with skip logic, validation rules, and GPS integration built in.
What We Do
ADRI operates one of Uganda's most experienced field research networks — capable of deploying trained enumerators, supervisors, and field coordinators across urban, peri-urban, and rural settings at short notice. We specialise in large-scale quantitative surveys, qualitative data collection, and mixed-methods field studies.
Our teams are trained in ethical data collection practices, digital data entry, and quality assurance protocols — ensuring that the data we collect is accurate, complete, and fit for analysis. We use industry-standard digital data collection platforms — including ODK, SurveyCTO, and CSPro — with real-time dashboards that allow us to monitor field progress and data quality throughout the collection period.

How It Works
1
2
Sampling & Mapping
We develop the sampling framework, conduct household listing where required, and map field zones to ensure representative, efficient coverage.
3
Team Recruitment & Training
We recruit and train enumerators and supervisors specific to your study — covering the instrument, protocols, ethics, and quality standards.
4
Data Collection
Field teams deploy with digital devices and real-time connectivity where available. Supervisors conduct field spot checks and back-checks daily.
5
Quality Assurance & Processing
All submitted data is reviewed for completeness, consistency, and quality. Queries are resolved in the field before collection closes.
6
Data Delivery
Clean, labelled datasets are delivered in your preferred format — SPSS, Stata, Excel, or CSV — along with a fieldwork report documenting the collection process.
