“A guide to choosing survey sample sizes for M&E practitioners”

This is a one-hour session ideal for Monitoring and Evaluation professionals who are interested in learning more about choosing samples for their surveys and don’t know where to start.

Some of the key points we discuss are:

  • Baseline surveys
  • Mid term/final evaluations
  • Oversampling for groups of specific interest
  • Taking into consideration the costs of stratified and cluster sampling
  • Understanding sampling and non-sampling error
  • Introduction to using confidence intervals in the analysis

The content is particularly useful to M&E practitioners who are responsible for designing surveys and data collection tools for programmes and projects in their organization and who wish to understand better sample sizes, sample calculators and what to keep in mind when choosing a sample size.
