2. Translation of tools into 
local language? 
3. Trainings take time! 
4. The field team really 
matters!
Lessons learnt: Implementation phase 
5. Invest in sensitizing your 
local field (village) 
coordinator! 
6. Consider splitting up the 
interview guides to avoid 
respondent (and 
enumerator) fatigue! 
7. Some questions may work 
better than others, 
depending on context! 
(Need for pretesting?) 
8. Very interesting narratives 
may emerge!
