Data Collection & Entry support
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’m running a field-based Monitoring & Evaluation study and need dependable support to keep our information flawless from day one. You’ll work with both quantitative and qualitative data drawn from online surveys, in-person interviews, and on-site observations. Your main workspace will be Excel, though I’m happy if you bring along SPSS or Google Sheets skills for cross-checks and quick summaries.
What the job looks like
You’ll receive raw survey files, interview transcripts, and observation logs. From there you will:
• enter every response in structured Excel templates I provide
• clean and validate each variable, flagging gaps or anomalies for follow-up
• maintain version control so the field team can trace any change
• create simple pivots or descriptive stats that highlight trends as we move through data collection
I care deeply about data security, so please be ready to handle files confidentially and follow the naming conventions I’ll share.
Deliverables
• A single, clearly labelled workbook (or set of workbooks) with all records cleaned and coded
• A short data-quality memo noting issues found and resolutions taken
• On-time hand-off for each batch agreed in our schedule
If you have previous M&E or social-science research experience, an eagle eye for detail, and communicate promptly, I’d love to review your proposal and timeline.
