Data Collection Tools

 
 

 

The tools below give you more information on how to conduct an interview, how to do a focus group discussion, how to run an observation or how to undertake a survey.  You don’t need these tools to use our toolkits, but if you don’t have experience in undertaking data collection then these tools will help you do it better.
