concern in country selected key informants, but also HQ and RO level. Thus, in

data through key informants, existing data analysis, as well as delivering a
debriefing meeting after the data collection and analysis at all levels is
completed.

in which preliminary findings and recommendations will be shared across
countries as well as regional office and HQ to foster cross-fertilization and
further validation and consensus building.
During field visit, any critical
issues that may require immediate attention will be communicated to the RO and
