Survey

Data Collection that Ensures Accuracy and Reliability

Considering the dearth of rich, diverse and in-depth data focusing on Pakistan, Survey’s primary aim is to make such high-quality, accurate and reliable primary data a reality.  We provide data collection services to leading local and global academics, organisations and institutes, facilitating critical evidence-based research and policy making.

Our data collection practices have been developed by leading global academics in diverse fields of interest,  generating internationally recognised (and published) research. We have an in-house highly qualified, Institutional Review Board (IRB) certified team to manage data collection across multiple projects on our portfolio.

Adapting to new norms through Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI)

With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are one of the leading and earliest adapters of Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) as the new data collection norm in Pakistan. Through our implementation of innovative workflows, particularly for remote working during the pandemic, CERP Survey continued to successfully engage in large-scale data collection and research activities, expanding our portfolio even in unprecedented times.

testimonials

“Overall, it was an extremely smooth process, despite the fact that the project timelines shifted quite a bit. The Survey team was highly responsive to all our requests (e.g. holding an enumerator focus group midway etc.) and cooperative regarding any changes in field protocols/instrument/timelines. In situations where enumerator errors occurred, the team was open to retraining and revising content with the field team at every point of the activity which was highly appreciated by the EdFin team.”
