1.Purpose of data collection: I’ve been working in several humanitarian organizations since 2009 as data officer/data manager/data analyst related work, and currently working as data officer at one INGO focus on HIV prevention and care and treatment. So the purposes are varies due to the different mandate of the organizations, but mainly are to collect demographic and need assessment for internally displaced persons/stateless people or people affected from armed conflicts and disasters, or HIV prevention and care and treatment related data to reduce risk or to give proper assistance or to document the violent towards civilian.
2. Was it primary or secondary data collection? Most of them are primary data but sometimes I need to check from other secondary data sources to check and compared with main data collection.
3. Methods used for data collection : paper based questionnaires, electronic data collection tool such as ODK, putting data directly into website
4. Were there any problems that occurred regarding data collection? Main problem is related to the interviewer/ data collector. Sometimes it is difficult to make understand for them what data we would like to capture and the purpose.
