Adapting and changing your approaches to research during the time of COVID-19

This webinar focused on some of the learning we have shared as part of the Openi2i learning series on data collection innovations and adaptations with specific attention to how they have been applied under COVID-19. This included learnings around:

• Adaption of research approaches that involve face-to-face work
• The COVID-19 Livelihoods Tracking Survey and SMS survey data collection
• The challenges of working with transaction data and accessing data remotely via Virtual Private Networks (VPN).

The webinar was moderated by Cenfri Technical Director and insight2impact programme lead, Hennie Bester and featured the following speakers:
