We understand that excellent research thrives on reliable data.
With extensive experience in survey design, implementation, and data analysis, MDRI brings about the most effective solutions in implementing large-scale surveys using innovative, transparent, and reliable approaches.
We combine state-of-the-art technologies, including PAPI and CAPI, with our experience in implementing strict monitoring and quality control measures, such as via a system of indicators that we designed to assess enumerators’ performance and to minimize data collection errors, especially non-sampling errors.
