Difficult to gather validated
documents. Extremely challenging to
Document Gathering for Nine Countries X
find legitimate sources for selected
countries.
The key institutions were very
accommodating. We hope to establish
Request for Documents from Key Institutions X a working partnership in order to ask
for expert advice during the next phase
of research.
Key informant interviews in our case
will not be done until the last weeks of
Key Informant Interviews X August and the first week of
September due to the availability of
respondents and their location.
Documents review using checklists has
been effective. Data gathering with the
Documents Review/Analysis X

Like the request for documents from
key institutions, correspondence was
very smooth and lacked the generic
Correspondence with Key Informants X
red-tape commonly associated with
government organizations in the
Philippines.
