Research Methods
Methodological Capability
Quantitative
Structured measurement that produces representative, comparable and statistically defensible estimates.
- Household surveys
- Structured interviews
- Phone surveys
- Online surveys
- Experimental and quasi-experimental designs where applicable
- Statistical analysis
Qualitative
Depth, context and explanation. These are the reasons behind the numbers and the experiences behind the indicators.
- Key Informant Interviews
- Focus Group Discussions
- In-depth Interviews
- Observation
- Participatory methods
- Qualitative coding and thematic analysis
Mixed Methods
Quantitative evidence establishes scale and distribution; qualitative evidence explains mechanisms, barriers and meaning. Sequenced deliberately, the two together answer both what is happening and why, giving decision-makers a fuller and more defensible basis for action.
- Sequential and concurrent designs
- Qualitative instrument design informed by survey findings
- Triangulation across data sources
- Integrated reporting and joint interpretation
