response error
Response error can occur due to difference and difficulty in interpreting questions, either by the enumerator or respondent. To minimize this error, intensive training was conducted for the enumerators as well as supervisors. In addition, random checks were carried out on households that were already canvassed by the enumerators to ensure the validity of the information recorded. To ensure the completeness of the survey coverage, the sampling frame is frequently updated and the living quarters were selected after the EBs listing exercise.
