Quantitative

An important distinction from our competition is the approach we adopt in doing business at MEMECS, which includes an array and combinations of tools, techniques, and methods to attain the best possible quality of services. We employ a good synergy of both quantitative and qualitative paradigms in our approaches. Some of the key quantitative tools that we employ are:

Community Based Survey

Method locating community as the primary source of data on issues and challenges e.g. access to social facilities like hospitals, clinics, schools, churches, and markets.

Household Based Survey

Household is the primary source of data on attitudes and behaviors on social products and services like bed-nets, multivitamins, contraceptives, and others.

Individual Based Survey

Focus is on individual as the primary unity of data collection on opinions, attitudes, and behavior on social products and services.

Impact Evaluation Survey

Method is designed to provide information on the changes resulting from program intervention. It usually involves baseline and follow-on studies.

Knowledge Evaluation Survey

Method collects data to evaluate knowledge in its additive and cumulative form in other to distinguish between correct and incorrect knowledge and how these affect attitudes and behavior change.

Panel Survey

Market study tools used to examine, over time, consumption pattern of household products and services.

Opinion Polls

Used to understand individual political preferences, private polling for political parties, tracking, potential voting patterns and dynamics in the polity.

Exit Polls

Method for estimate voting patterns of the electorate for candidates and their political parties on an election day.

Special Population Survey
