Ghana - Ghana Living Standards Survey 2:1988-1989, Second round

Face-to-face [f2f]
In each year, the survey was conducted by 10 six member teams. Each team included 2 household interviewers, one anthropometrist, one data-entry operator (with a personal computer), one driver (with a Land Rover) and one supervisor. In 1988-89 five test administrators were added, one each to five teams, as explained below. The teams were based in the eight regional offices of the Ghana Statistical Service; two teams each were based in Accra and Kumasi, with others at Cape Coast, Ho, Koforidua, Sekondi, Sunyani and Tamale. The field work was decentralized with guidance from the central office. To minimize the disadvantages of the decentralized system, all ten teams were brought together for refresher training sessions, during which experiences were shared to ensure that the teams worked as efficiently as possible towards the same objective.
