Responsibilities

  • Support facilitation of Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with youth in wage and self-employment
  • Ensure accurate, complete, and timely data collection and submission
  • Obtain informed consent from all respondents and uphold ethical research standards
  • Ensure proper handling of devices and maintain data confidentiality and security
  • Follow daily fieldwork plans and meet assigned interview targets (approximately 4–6 interviews per day)

  • Provide daily updates to supervisors and flag any field challenges promptly
