• Use of different methods for data collection including on-site visits, document analysis, confidential key informant interviews and focus groups

• Iterative “sense-making” interactions with project team members during field work 

• Triangulation of findings through the development of specific interview guides for different key informants and focus groups

• Validation of findings by the project team prior to the formulation of this review report
