Field Data Collection in Kenya
Field data collection services in Kenya
Sonivance recruits, trains, deploys and supervises field teams for surveys and qualitative research across Kenya. Digital tools, GPS verification and daily quality monitoring keep your data reliable from the first interview to the final dataset.
What We Deliver
Fieldwork support for research firms, NGOs, universities and development organizations
Most of our clients design the study; we make sure the fieldwork delivers data they can defend. Others ask us to handle everything from instrument programming to the final clean dataset.
Survey fieldwork
Household surveys, baseline, midline and endline studies, market research interviews and perception surveys. We recruit, train and manage enumerators and supervisors for each assignment.
Qualitative fieldwork
Focus group discussions, key informant interviews, in-depth interviews and field observation, with trained moderators and multilingual interviewing support.
Digital data collection
CAPI, CATI and mobile data collection on programmed tools with skip logic, validation rules and GPS tagging, so errors are caught while teams are still in the field.
Quality assurance
Back-checks, spot checks, GPS verification, audio audits where consented, and daily data review. Quality targets are agreed before fieldwork starts, not improvised during it.
How an Assignment Runs
From terms of reference to a clean dataset
A typical engagement moves through five steps. Timelines depend on sample size, geography and instrument length, and are agreed in writing before fieldwork begins.

Common Questions
Field data collection in Kenya, answered
- Which parts of Kenya do you cover?
- We plan and manage fieldwork across Kenya, including hard-to-reach areas, and can support assignments elsewhere in East Africa. Coverage for your specific study is confirmed during scoping.
- Which data collection tools do you use?
- We work with KoboToolbox, SurveyCTO and ODK, among others. The choice depends on your study design, existing licences and analysis pipeline.
- Can you work with our own questionnaire and sampling design?
- Yes. Many clients come to us with instruments already designed. We program them digitally, flag fieldwork risks, and manage collection and quality control.
- How do you control data quality in the field?
- Every assignment runs with agreed quality targets: back-checks, spot checks, GPS verification and daily review of incoming data. Problems are corrected while the team is still deployed.
