PREFACE
PREFACE

ILDAT Report on Public Opinion on Quality of Governance in Pakistan: Second Year of Federal and
Provincial Governments: June 2014 May 2015 is the second in a series of reports, the first being published in
August 2014, to assess the Quality of Governance in Pakistan through a nationwide public opinion poll. Earlier, upon the
completion of first 100 days of these Governments in office in September 2013, PILDAT had undertaken and published a
public verdict on Performance of Governance and Democracy in First 100 Days of Pakistan's National and Provincial
Governments.
This is the second in a series of reports to examine the Quality of Governance based on public opinion upon the
completion of the 2nd year of National and Provincial Governments elected through the May 2013 General Election. As
democracy has made progress in Pakistan over the years, PILDAT believes the focus should be on performance of
democracy, separate from the process of democracy, to gauge how democracy has delivered to the citizens in terms of
providing good governance.
Framework for Assessing Quality of Governance
In order to assess the quality of governance on a scientific basis, PILDAT has developed an indigenous framework, which
takes into account key governance indicators within the context of Pakistan. The framework has been used to develop a
questionnaire for the public opinion poll.
The nationwide poll was conducted during June 02-12, 2015. It was conceived and undertaken by PILDAT. The
respondents for the survey included 3231 citizens from rural and urban areas from all the four provinces of Pakistan. The
fieldwork for the report was done in person at respondents' homes. The sample is also based on a cross-section of various
age, income, education and language groups of the population. Error margin is estimated to be approximately +2-5% at
95% confidence level.
PILDAT's initiative to assess Quality of Governance is by no means an exercise at finger pointing; it is, in fact, a
collaborative effort to highlight areas of strengths and potential areas requiring improvement in the quality of governance
in the five Governments. This public opinion poll report is an effort to assist elected political Governments at the Centre
and the Provinces to improve their quality of governance based on scientifically obtained public opinion.

Disclaimer
The results of this Report do not necessarily represent views held by PILDAT. The results only represent public opinion,
computed on the basis of views expressed by anonymous respondents selected through the procedure outlined in the
methodology section of this Report. PILDAT cannot be held liable to the users of this data. The analysis of this public
opinion poll results has been authored by Dr. Ijaz Shafi Gilani, a pioneer in political polls in Pakistan and an eminent
political scientist and analyst, upon request by PILDAT and using the results of the public opinion poll conducted by
PILDAT including fieldwork, data entry and the general research design.

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
AFTER TWO YEARS, CHALLENGES TO GOOD GOVERNANCE STILL PERSIST
Two years into the General Elections of 2013, the incumbent Governments have been unable to convince the public over
their performance in key areas of governance. The survey by Pakistan's most prominent watcher on democracy and
governance, PILDAT, shows that popular opinion over the performance of elected governments, both at the federal and
provincial level, has been one of increasing scepticism and mistrust. Despite significant gains made in improving
Pakistan's security situation, a majority of the public still feels that the Government has been lacking in its drive to resolve
more pressing socio-economic and political problems facing the Country.
The PILDAT Report on Governance awards a number of 'Red Cards' and only a few 'Green Cards' while assessing the
performance of the Federal Government for key governance indicators during the past two years. Apart from achieving
popular support in only a few major areas, such as Law and Order, National Security, Utility Bills Collection,
Immunization of Children, Healthcare and Education, the overall public evaluation of the Federal Government has
been negative. Upon a further interpretation of the survey on governance, PILDAT believes that the public is particularly
concerned over a lack of effort by the Federal Government towards espousing accountability and transparency in the
working of the bureaucracy and institutions of governance. Subsequently, a majority of the public has disapproved of the
workings of all Federal Ministries, with the exception of the Ministry of Defense. The Government's efforts to curb
unemployment, alleviate poverty and resolve the energy crisis in the Country have also been viewed scepkically by the
public.
The survey findings in this PILDAT report also point to an encouraging public approval on key governance areas for the
Provincial Governments of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) as well as the Punjab. The Provincial Government of KP has
secured overwhelmingly popular support for its performance in the majority of governance areas. Whereas, the people of
Balochistan and Sindh have provided a scathing assessment of their respective Provincial Governments; negatively
rating them in most of the governance indicators.
The PILDAT survey shows that popular grievances are getting pinned down on the poor performance of politicians. The
politicians running their respective Provincial Governments and the Federal Government are being blamed for their
perceived failure to effectively tackle the major issues impeding Pakistan's development as well as showing a lack of
sincerity in effectively running their Departments and Ministries.
Additionally, the Report identifies popular distrust for State Institutions of accountability and security, such as the
National Accountability Bureau (NAB), Government Officers and the Police. Conversely, a significant section of the
population has exhibited a strong trust for the Nation's Armed Forces.
The findings of this PILDAT Report include a number of highlights, which are reported in this Executive Summary. More
detailed findings are presented in the 2-volume Report, which PILDAT is releasing for the benefit of all political
stakeholders

Federal Government's Scorecard


The scorecard shows the Federal Government's Approval Rating, i.e., sum of responses in category 'Approved a Lot' and
'Approved Somewhat', on the core governance indicators. A rating, less than 50% shows that more people have
disapproved or chose to remain silent on the issue. It has been shaded as red on the Approval Scorecard column in Table
2. Similarly, an Approval Rating of more than 50% implies that a minority of the population has expressed disapproval or
has chosen to remain silent on the issue. An Approval Rating exceeding 50% has been allotted the colour green on the
Approval Scorecard column seen in Table 2. In Table 2, we have also ranked different indicators from highest Approval
Rating to lowest Approval Rating, in order to outline areas where the Federal Government has performed well in gaining
public's perceived approval.

Public Opinion on Quality of Governance in Pakistan


Second Year of Federal and Provincial Governments: June 2014 May 2015
October 2015

Performance of the Federal Government Public Opinion Mostly Negative


The Approval Ratings in 2015 seen in Table 2 show that on most indicators, the public evaluated the Federal
Government's governance performance negatively. 24 out of the 30 Governance indicators assessed for the Federal
Government received an Approval Rating below 50%, thus implying that the majority of the survey respondents
disapproved of the performance of the Federal Government in those 24 indicators. The Federal Government's governance
performance has been positively evaluated only on six indicators: Immunization of Children (85%); Education
(64%); Utility Bills Collection (56%); Law and Order (55%); Healthcare (54%) and National Security (53%). In
all the remaining policy areas that were included in the survey, the majority opinion was one of disapproval on the
performance of the Federal Government. On all the remaining policy indicators, more than 50% of the respondents
deemed the performance of the Federal Government to be unsatisfactory. On the indicators of Poverty Alleviation
(28%), Transparency (30%), Management of Unemployment (25%), Quality & Independence of Civil Service
(26%), Merit-based Appointments in Regulatory Bodies (28%), Devolution of Powers to Lower TiersEstablishment of Local Governments (29%), the public was extremely critical of the Government's performance as
can be seen by the fact that Approval Ratings for these indicators were below 30% of all respondents.

Renewed Hope for the Government on Foreign Policy, Procurement, Investment, Agriculture
and Development
Crucial distinction must also be made for those indicators where the Approval Ratings are closer to the 50% mark, hence
implying that the public's overall assessment on such indicators is currently divided, with negative evaluations slightly
outpacing positive evaluations. For instance, on Foreign Policy Management (44%), Development Programmes
(44%), Investment Friendliness (44%) and the Management of Supply of Agricultural Inputs (40%), Federal
Government's negative evaluation is only slightly greater than its positive assessment. These indicators highlight areas
where the Federal Government has managed to perform well, and has also been evaluated positively by a significant
proportion of the public. Continued attention and reform in these areas can help improve the Approval Ratings for the
Federal Government.

Public Opinion on Quality of Governance in Pakistan


Second Year of Federal and Provincial Governments: June 2014 May 2015
October 2015

Federal Government Strong in areas of National Security, Education, Immunization of


Children, Healthcare and Utility Bills Collection
Public opinion on the Federal Government's two year governance performance indicates that The PML-N led
Government has garnered positive assessments by the majority of the public on Immunization of Children (85%),
Healthcare (54%), Education (64%), National Security (53%), Law & Order (55%) and Utility Bills Collection
(56%). These indicators have been ranked as green on the Approval Scorecard and suggest that the Government's efforts
to strengthen Pakistan in these respective areas have been well received by a majority of the Pakistani public. Given
Pakistan's on-going struggle against violent militancy and the relative success of the operation Zarb-e-Azb by the
Pakistani Army, this positive score reflects the public's expectation that this Government can succeed in purging rampant
terrorism and violent militancy in the Country. Furthermore, the aggressive Polio Campaign undertaken by the Federal
Government to make Pakistan a Polio-free Nation has been positively perceived by the public.

Ability of the Centre to Curb Poverty and Unemployment - Question Marks Remain
In contrast, the current Government's performance on Poverty Alleviation and Management of Unemployment has
been poorly assessed by the people of Pakistan; with Approval Ratings of 28% and 25% respectively. These issues are
critical in resuscitating Pakistan's socio-economic growth and development. A negative assessment by an overwhelming
majority of the representative sample of the Pakistani public on these indicators reveals the public's dissatisfaction with
the Government's efforts of these two years aimed at resolving these key challenges that affect the daily livelihoods of
ordinary citizens across the Country.
The Government's often hyped about economic reforms and policies have, as yet, failed to trickle down to the masses in
the form of palpable positive changes in livelihoods with the public feeling that unemployment, and poverty remain the
core economic challenges for the people of Pakistan. Alternatively put, the Government's macroeconomic policy reforms
may be working, but microeconomic improvements are yet to take root in the country after several years of economic
decline and stagnation.

Public Verdict on Resolving the Energy Crisis: Federal Government Remains Clueless
The 'Energy Crisis' in Pakistan continues to remain a massive hurdle in the social and economic development of Pakistan.
Despite the Federal Government's apparent efforts and policy focus designed to reform the Energy Sector and increase the
production capacity, the Pakistani public has deemed the efforts of these two years as insufficient. On Energy
Production and Management, the Government was able to get an Approval Rating of only 30%, thus illustrating the
substantial level of dissatisfaction with the continuing energy crisis in the country particularly with incessant load
shedding and power outages that have not only caused misery to the urban and rural diaspora but have also crippled
industries and businesses nationwide.

A Persistent Lack of Accountability & Transparency in the Public Sector


Accountability and Transparency have been the usual political slogans used by political parties at the time of elections.
Good governance enshrined with concepts of 'Accountability and Transparency' have, over the years, also gained public
legitimacy as key goals that Pakistan needs to achieve. Public discourse on this issue is visible through media attention it
has captured as well as the recent focus by the Supreme Court on a number of graft cases as well as grilling of the Chief
Accountability watchdog, the NAB, by the Chief Justice of Pakistan.
The Government scored rather poorly on indicators of Transparency and Anti-Corruption. On Transparency, the
th
Government scored an Approval Rating of only 30% (ranked 13 in terms of public approval), while in the fight against
corruption the Government fared even worse in the eyes of the public, with the indicator of Anti-Corruption getting an
th
even lower Approval Rating of 27%. Furthermore, on Merit-Based Recruitment and Promotions (34%, ranked at 11
in terms of public approval), Poverty Alleviation (28%, ranked at 14th), Quality and Independence of Civil Service
(26%, ranked at 17th), a resounding majority of the respondents was convinced that the Government and its supporting
institutions of governance are still strongly afflicted with issues of corruption, a lack of merit and fairness in recruitments

shaking off the lack of trust and perceptions of rampant corruption in its management of the Country's affairs.

Provincial Government Scorecard (Provincial Governance Evaluation)


The questions included and asked in the provincial segment of the opinion poll asked respondents to evaluate the
performance of their Provincial Government on the core governance indicators relevant to Provincial governance.
The Approval Rating Scores published here provide an indication of how residents from each Province evaluated the
state of governance in their Province. The list of indicators used for Provincial governance analysis is slightly different
and includes subjects that have been devolved to the provinces in the aftermath of the 18th Constitutional Amendment.

Performance of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Government A Clear Front-Runner


The KP Government achieved positive Approval Ratings by the majority of the respondents in a resounding 18 out of
the 28 Provincial Governance indicators covered in this Study: Law and Order (72%), Education (80%), Healthcare
(75%), Transparency (55%), Anti-Corruption (51%), Utility Bills Collection (55%), Merit-Based Recruitments
and Promotions (68%), Use of Technologies for Better Governance (58%), Management and Supply of
Agricultural Inputs (56%), Immunization of Children (90%), Environmental Sustainability (59%), Access to an
Efficient Justice System (59%), Sanitation (52%), Access to Safe Drinking Water (61%), Disaster Preparedness
and Management (56%) and Public Transport (57%), thereby dispelling any challenge from the Provincial
Government in Punjab, where the PML-N was able to secure Approval Ratings in only 8 out of the 28 governance
indicators.
More impressively, the KP Government barely scored negative ratings in almost all of the other indicators, performing
substantially better than the Punjab Government in the eyes of the public. A significant proportion of the respondents
approved of the performance of the Government in KP on the following performance indicators: Poverty Alleviation
(46%), Management of Unemployment (41%), Investment Friendliness (45%), Tax Collection (48%),
Development Programmes (49%), and Management of Unemployment (41%). These Approval Ratings illustrate
25

the positive perception of the work being done by the Government in these areas.
It was only in a few performance indicators that the Provincial Government of KP was viewed by a majority of the
respondents to have performed relatively poorly: Quality & Independence of Civil Service (37%) and Energy
Production and Management (40%). Even then, a significant proportion of the respondents (above 30%) still
approved of the work being carried out by the KP Government regarding improvements in Energy production and
management and the Civil Service.

Public Perception on Performance of the Provincial Government of Punjab


Despite lagging behind KP in terms of performance, the Provincial Government of Punjab was still able to outscore the
rest of the Provincial Governments in terms of performance in the policy areas outlined in this study.
The Punjab Government's best Approval Rating was registered in Immunization of Children (91%). Similarly, the
Provincial Government's concerted focus on infrastructure improvement, with Public Transport and Development
Programmes receiving positive Approval Ratings of 61% and 51% in 2015, respectively. Much has been made of the
Punjab Government's focus on improving the educational infrastructure and services in the Province. At present, the
Government's reforms and projects in Education garnered a positive Approval Rating of 75%. Punjab Government also
performed well in the Healthcare sector, generating a positive response of 60% by the majority of the respondents.
Furthermore, the Government's efforts at stabilising the economy of Punjab also observed a positive perception by the
public, as can be seen by the positive Approval Ratings secured by Punjab in the Collection of Utility Bills (60%). In
total, the Punjab Government generated positive Governance Approval Ratings in 8 out of the 28 indicators studied for
the four provinces.
Approval Ratings for 4 indicators for the Punjab Government were barely negative, in comparison to 7 such policy
indicators for the KP Government. On these indicators the negative evaluations only slightly outpaced positive
assessments of the Provincial Government's performance, which alludes to Approval Ratings that can easily cross the
50% mark if the Provincial Government retains its focus and policy direction: Investment Friendliness (44%),
Management of Supply of Agricultural Products (41%), Access to Safe Drinking Water (44%), and Disaster
Preparedness & Management (43%).
However, the PML-N led Provincial Government in Punjab also reflects some of the negative scores achieved by the
party's Government at the Federal level. The Punjab Government received the lowest Approval Ratings in Energy
Production & Management (37%), Poverty Alleviation (29%), Anti-Corruption (23%), Transparency (25%),
Management of Unemployment (25%), and Quality and Independence of Civil Service (22%). A majority of the
public opinion severely disapproved of the lack of work being done in alleviating poverty and reducing unemployment,
both at the Federal and the Provincial level, with Approval Ratings not even crossing the 30% mark. These trends seem
to be reflective of the notion that despite initiating macro level projects, the Government of the PML-N is still lacking in
providing some of the basic necessities of life to people.

The Government in Balochistan Public Opinion Overwhelmingly Negative


Of the four provinces evaluated and compared in this study for the respective Provincial Governments' governance
performance, the empirical results clearly rank the Provincial Government of Balochistan on the lowest tier in terms of
its performance in the governance indicators.
The people of Balochistan evaluated their Provincial Government's governance track-record negatively on 26 out of the
28 indicators included in this survey. This prevalent negativity in the province reflects the poor state of governance in
the Provincial Government. The Balochistan Government scored the lowest Approval Ratings on: Anti-Corruption
(19%), Merit-Based Recruitment and Promotions (18%), Energy Production and Management (18%), Poverty
Alleviation (13%), Management of Unemployment (9%), Environmental Sustainability (20%), Access to Safe
Drinking Water (20%) and Sanitation (14%). In all these governance indicators, the Approval Rating given to the
Provincial Government was less than 20%, thus implying that a dominant majority of the Balochi public was extremely
26

critical of the performance of the Provincial Government. The Balochistan Government's positive Approval Rating was
recorded on Immunization of Children (79%) and Devoluation of Power to the Lower Tiers-Establishment of
Local Government (51%) . The empirical results obtained from this study clearly indicate that the people of
Balochistan are undoubtedly the ones most dissatisfied and disillusioned with the performance of their government,
compared to all the other provinces.

Public Verdict on Performance of Sindh Government - One of Extreme Disapproval


The Provincial Government of Sindh also suffered from a fate similar to the one experienced by the Government of
Balochistan, two years since coming into power after the elections of 2013. The Government of Pakistan People's Party
in Sindh also recorded Approval Ratings below the 50% mark in 26 out of 28 governance indicators, managing positive
Approval Ratings only in Immunization of Children (77%) and Law and Order (53%).
The Sindh Government scored the lowest Approval Ratings on: Poverty Alleviation (16%), Management of
Unemployment (12%), Access to Safe Drinking Water (18%), Merit-Based Recruitment and Promotions (19%)
and Clean, Efficient and Economic Public Procurement(16%). The proportion of the Sindhi respondents that
approved of the work being done by the Government in these policy issues was less than 20% of all respondents, thus
highlighting the overwhelming negativity persisting among the public regarding the performance of their Government
on these areas.

Appendix A: Research Methodology


Sampling Methodology
1.

Sample Size

The sample size for this survey is 3231 Men and Women
2.

Coverage & Exclusion

The sample covered a total of 56 Districts, in all Four Provinces of Pakistan namely: Punjab , Sindh , KP and
Balochistan.
About 5% of Population living in FATA , GB and AJK was excluded from the sample universe for this survey
due to security reasons as well as inability to undertake Random Sampling methodology.
3.

Sampling Stages
a.

Definitions

Sampling Frame
The Sampling Frame for this survey was based on electoral lists updated for 2013 General Election. The
Polling Station breakdown and list of polling stations was obtained from the Election Commission of
Pakistan's (ECP) website. The electoral lists for sampled polling stations were requested and obtained
from the Election Commission office in Islamabad in hard copy form after the required payment was
made.
PSU
The Primary Sampling Unit for this survey was the polling station
SSU
The Secondary Sampling Unit for this survey was the respondent (Male or Female) randomly chosen from
the electoral rolls.

b.

Sampling Stages

Stage 1: Pakistan's National Assembly is composed of 272 National Assembly constituencies. These 272
seats are spread across 4 Provinces and FATA according to population share. Systematic Random Sampling
(SRS) method was used to select 55 constituencies from the total list of 272.
3 Constituencies falling in FATA region were dropped due to security concerns in FATA.
Stage 2: From the selected 52 constituencies (after dropping the 3 FATA constituencies) all the Polling Stations
in these 52 constituencies were listed. 4 Polling Stations were selected through Simple Random Sampling (SRS)
from each constituency.

520

P I L D AT

Report

Public Opinion on Quality of Governance in Pakistan


Second Year of Federal and Provincial Governments: June 2014 May 2015
October 2015

In other words a total of 208 Polling Stations were selected falling within these 52 constituencies.
Since size of electoral constituencies in Pakistan is not uniform and can range from 100,000 voters to 600,000
voters, this method of Systematic Random Sampling gave a slight over weight to smaller constituencies at the
cost of the bigger constituencies. This can be considered as one of the limitations of the current sampling
exercise.
Stage 3: The Polling Stations were categorised into Rural and Urban polling stations with available data from
the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics.
Stage 4: For each of the 3 provinces (Punjab, Sindh and KP) 16 interviews were planned in each of the PSUs,
i.e., Polling Stations. In Balochistan, 24 interviews were planned in each of the PSUs, i.e., Polling Stations.
Stage 5: Once the Polling Station and sample to be covered per Polling Station was available, two separate
procedures were employed, depending on the availability of electoral rolls or voter lists.
PSUs where electoral rolls were available: 12 Male names and 12 female names were drawn from the electoral
rolls using Systematic Random Sampling approach. In Balochistan, where interviews per PSU were 24, 18 male
and 18 female names were generated from the electoral rolls of the relevant PSU, i.e., Polling Station.
Using the address and name available, the required respondent was searched by interviewers. In case of lack of
availability of selected person, the person was replaced with another one from the 24 (or 36 in Balochistan)
available with the interviewer. In other words, substitution of respondent was handled by drawing an
oversample from the list.
A total of 24 Constituencies (out of 52) followed this method. In other words, around half of the sample survey
responses followed this method.
PSUs where electoral rolls were either unavailable or were found to be incomplete.
In these PSUs, a Random Walk Approach with a random starting point was used. The interviewer first listed all
the available landmarks around the Polling Station. He/She used a random number generator to select one
random location and then used the 'Right Hand Rule' to select first household. Within the household(HH)
selected, KISH Grid was used to select a random member of the HH who was the interviewed.
In case of lack of availability of the selected person the entire HH was replaced instead of interviewing from the
same HH.
A total of 28 Constituencies (out of 52) followed this method.

Age
Young: Under 30 years of age; Middle: Between 30 and 50 years of age; Old: Above 51 years of age
The achieved sample is very close to National Demographics as measured in the Census of 1998 and Demographic
Profile emerging from the Pakistan Social and Living Measurement Survey (PSLM 2013-14).
However, there are a few deviations in the Provinces (Balochistan has been given a larger representation, almost twice
its size whereas Punjab's share has been reduced by about 4 percentage points). Similarly, the profile of this sample is
slightly less youthful than the National Demographics and also slightly more educated than the National
demographics.
5.

Weighting of Data

Since the deviation in Sample Profile and National Demographics is deemed by PILDAT as not very large, data has
not been weighted and the figures reported in this study are based on the Sample Profile shared above.
Disclaimer: The Urban / Rural division of Polling stations has been done based on the
available information. In some areas Polling Stations have mixed populations, i.e.,
Urban as well as Rural Households. An estimation has been used to put these Mixed
Polling Stations into Urban or Rural if greater population lived in either Urban or Rural.
In other words, a small minority of Households in Rural areas may have been categorised
into Urban respondents and vice versa. It is assumed as one of the crucial limitations of
the current sampling approach.

6. Error Margin Calculation


The Error Margin for this survey is calculated to range between +-2-5 % at 95% Confidence Interval.
Due to larger cluster size at the PSU level (16 and 24), the design effect for the study would be slightly larger than 10
interviews per PSU, which is generally the norm for polling in Pakistan.
7. Field Work Force
A mixed team of male and female interviewers was used.
The total team comprised 74 individuals
The basic qualification for interviewers was Graduation, mostly unemployed people were selected but about 50%
were experienced in interviewing.
8. Field Dates
The field work for this survey was conducted during June 02 June 12, 2015.
9. Other Protocols followed
Briefing/Training of interviewers:
Briefings were organised for the interviewers on the designed questionnaire in two days training sessions at each
Provincial Capital (Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar and Quetta). The interviewers were instructed on measures such as:

Report

Public Opinion on Quality of Governance in Pakistan


Second Year of Federal and Provincial Governments: June 2014 May 2015
October 2015

1. Following sampling/quota instructions properly


2. Ethical code of conduct towards interviewers
3. Following skipping Instructions and other interview instructions on the Questionnaire
4. Maintaining neutrality in asking questions
Mock Calls
After the briefings were completed, all the field workers made mock calls under the direct supervision of an
executive or a fieldwork supervisor. This ensured that the field workers properly understood the
instructions and could handle various interviewing problems during the interview (in the field). After
completion of mock calls, a debriefing session was arranged in which the problems faced by the
interviewers during the mock interviews were discussed and solutions suggested and recorded.
Initial Checking/ Intake Edit
After the training, the interviewers went into the field for actual interviewing. A team comprising one male
interviewer and one female interviewer worked under the supervision of a Field Supervisor. Field
Supervisors observed at least 3 interviews of each interviewer for quality assurance. In case the work of an
interviewer was not acceptable, he/she was disengaged from the survey. Field Supervisor was responsible
to check the filled-in questionnaires before passing them to data coding/entry department. The problems or
missing information identified during field edit were explained to the relevant interviewer and he/she was
instructed to rectify them either through telephone and/or revisit the respondent for clarification and reasking the missing questions.
Supervision & Back Checking
Interviewers were supervised on the job and the work done by them was back checked. At least 20% back
checking was done on work completed by each interviewer to ensure authenticity of data.
Data Entry and Verification
Once the questionnaires were received from the field, those were checked and the responses of open-ended
questions were coded with the help of a code list.
After the coding of open-ended responses, data was entered into computers. PILDAT used the SPSS data
entry programme that has flexibility to implement validity checks and skipping rules, etc. At least 20 % of
its entered data was rechecked for the quality assurance.
After completion of data entries, all data was cleaned by using a data-cleaning program written in SPSS
which is customized for every project according to the survey/questionnaire needs. Data was thoroughly
checked for an omission, displacements and other errors resulting in inconsistencies with the coding
scheme.
