Data collection tools include:

  1. Excel-based Access to Energy Questionnaire
  2. Digitised access to energy questionnaire – KoBo Toolbox
  3. A data collection guide for enumerators and supervisors
  4. Others: consent form, NDA, interview tracking form

Excel-based data collection sheet 

–This contains sheets on:

  • Income,
  • Demographics
  • Clean cooking
  • Electricity, LPG
  • Mitigation, etc.
  • and a response matrix

Digital data collection: Using KoBo Toolbox

KoBoToolbox overview:

  • Ability to create, record, collect and analyse data
  • No internet connection required during data collection
  • Data can be collected using internet browser or KoBo Collect on Android devices
  • Ability to use browser or Android data collection app

KoBo Toolbox sample questions in the digital KoBo questionnaire

KoBo toolbox data collection results

Results can be viewed as:

  • Reports 
  • Tables 
  • Gallery 
  • Downloads 
  • Maps

Best practices for data collection:

  • Check data as it is coming in (get data in real time).
  • Decide who will be responsible for data cleaning.
  • Request back-check permission at the end of an interview (get phone numbers).
  • Develop questions for result (quality checks).

Other data sources

There are other data sources for the access to energy pillar of the SEACAP. Here are some tips:

  • Local data is ideal.
  • Choose national data in the absence of local data (from public institutions).
  • Try international organisations such as the FAO, IEA, IRENA. 
  • Use online platforms such as the climate information platform of CSAG.
  • Collaboration with universities is another helpful option.
  • You could try data scaling: e.g. by comparing population or number of petrol stations.

What happens after data collection?

  1. Data is cleaned. and analysed. 

Data cleaning is a vital step, and various tools can be used:

  • Stata
  • Python
  • Excel
