Manual for Team leaders
PREFACE
This document outlines a Manual for leaders of enumerator groups during the data collection in
the field. It entails methodological guidance to team leaders – which will be more or less similar
for different profiling exercises – and operational guidance – which is only indicative and should
be contextualized and developed for each different profiling exercise. This Manual assumes a
team organization of four levels: enumerators, team leaders, supervisors and the profiling
coordinator.
Team leaders, being supervisor of the enumerators, should be equally familiar with the Manual
for enumerators.
The field manual is intended to be shared with the recruited team leaders during the training. It
should reflect most of the training content and will serve as a guide during their field work. The
manual would be distributed together with the Profiling project description, the Manual for
Enumerators, the enumeration form, the household questionnaire and other technical
documents to be used in the field during data collection [see also JET tools: Profiling Description,
Manual for Enumerators; Enumeration form; Households questionnaire; Manual for team
leaders; Manual for supervisors].

B. During the preparatory phase
During the preparatory phase of the survey, the team leaders should plan their work and
prepare the data collection material for the enumerators placed under their authority.
Specifically, the team leader is responsible for the following:
1. Preparing the documents and equipment needed for the enumerators: Documents
include the enumeration forms and questionnaires, instruction manuals for
4
Manual for Team leaders
enumerators and summary forms. Equipment includes note books, pencils, pencil
sharpeners, erasers, bags, badges, umbrellas, calculators, chalk, household tokens,
indelible ink, archiving boxes, etc.
2. Drafting a team progress plan: This plan must indicate the dates and routes of travel,
duration of visits, activities, teams involved, number of enumerators, accommodation,
number of vehicles used, etc. The plan is developed in partnership with the Supervisor
and based on information collected during the awareness raising activities; such as the
number and size of each site, their spread across the supervision zone, condition of the
roads and access routes to the sites, accommodation facilities, catering facilities and
group working facilities for checking completed questionnaires, condition of the
communication network, etc.
C. During deployment in the field
During the deployment in the field, the team Leader makes contact with the local authorities,
starts surveying, marking, and segmenting the site, allocates agents to site segments,
interviews the site manager, checks the work of the enumerators, checks questionnaires, and
ensures that enumerators have enough questionnaires.
Specifically, the team leader is responsible for the following:
1. Making contact with the local authorities: Once in the main town of the work zone or
site, the team leader should first visit the local authorities, in particular the local
administrative authorities, the site managers and/or the village chiefs. The team leader
must present the enumeration team and remind of the objectives and results of the
profiling, the official endorsement of the profiling exercise, the work programme of the
enumerators and the confidential nature of the information collated.
2. Surveying and delimiting the site: Accompanied by the site manager and/or a
representative, the team leader should being to mark the site and take geographic
coordinates using a GPS. The team leader then divides the site up into standard segments
of 50 households, each of which is then allocated to an enumerator. The team leader
makes a sketch of the whole site, visibly marking the segments.
3. Deployment of enumerators: After delimiting and segmenting the site, the Team Leader
progressively appoints an enumerator to each site segment.
4. Interviewing the site manager: The team leader subsequently makes contact with the site
manager and administers the 'site manager' questionnaire.
5
Manual for Team leaders
5. Raising awareness: The team leader will subsequently survey other sites and contact their
site manager, as well as raise awareness through the media, and together with the
awareness raising staff and the Supervisor. The team leader is obliged to communicate the
date when enumerators will visit the site, to ensure they are at home. Awareness raising of
the population in the targeted sites happens prior and during the data collection.
6. Completing enumeration forms and summarising results for each site: Once
enumeration has been completed on a site, the team leader collates all the
enumeration forms from the enumerators. S/he deducts the relevant information for
each site and notes the total number of households, number of IDP households and
total number of IDPs by sex. The team leader also notes the total number of household
enumeration forms used in the site and informs the Technical Coordinator on the total
number of IDP households counted so that the sample can be drawn.
7. Checking the presence of enumerators in the field: The duration of data collection in
the field should not exceed XX days. The work is therefore intense and fast-paced, which
means that staff in the field must be diligent, punctual and committed. Absenteeism
and lateness by enumerators leads to the exercise being extended, which may damage
the exercise. The team leader therefore must ensure that:
 Every day the enumerators are in the field conducting the work they are allocated;
 The enumerator respects the set working hours (it should be noted that the work is
fairly restrictive, because it doesn't follow office hours);
 The enumerator respects the meeting times set by the heads of the households
which were unavailable.
The team leader’s checks must be unannounced, in order to note any cases of
absenteeism or lateness.
8. Monitoring: The work of enumerators must be monitored regularly in order to identify
enumerators who may have difficulties and who therefore are too slow or make
mistakes. These enumerators require particular attention. During the monitoring visits,
the team leader should:
 Attend at least two complete interviews conducted by each enumerator with a view
to identifying and correcting any errors; point out any mistakes and correct them at
the end of the interview, outside the household
 Collect and check systematically completed questionnaires and point out the types
of mistakes committed;
6
Manual for Team leaders
 Give back to the enumerators any questionnaires which require another visit to the
households;
 Look into cases where an enumerator is administering too many or too few forms
than the anticipated averages and check the reasons;
 Provide enumerators with replacement equipment if they have run out;
 Provide solutions to any problems which they have been unable to resolve;
 Organise daily meetings to assess the enumerators' work.
D. After the data collection
Once the data collection has taken place on a site, the team leader checks, summarises and
classifies the technical forms, reports to the local authorities and drafts a data collection report.
Specifically, the team leader is responsible for the following:
1. Filing the completed forms:

Enumeration forms should be classified by enumerators in numerical order of
the number of the household by site segment. During classification, the team
leader should ensure that the information on the enumeration form contains all
the numbers of the households enumerated, that there are no household
enumeration forms missing, and that several households do not hold the same
token number.

Household questionnaires must be filed by the enumerators in numerical order
of the household numbers. Completed questionnaires are first filed by block or
by segment in cardboard folders. These cardboard folders are then filed in one
or two archive boxes. On each of these archive boxes, the number of the site and
its precise name should be written, the province, the department, the commune,
etc.
If the site does not have a number, ask the Coordinator which number should be
allocated. If there is no response, write the name of the site legibly and leave the
box for the site code empty.

Other technical documents, in particular the note book, the summary files, the
segment and site sketches, and base maps must be filed with clearly written
identification characteristics and the site location.
2. Handing over all filed documents to the Profiling/Technical coordinator.
7
Manual for Team leaders
3. Developing preliminary statistical results: The Team Leader should organise, if
necessary, an additional count to obtain the results requested, which should be
presented in the form of statistical tables. These results must not be discussed, nor
communicated in the field to any other person. Preliminary statistical results should
enable the following information to be given by site:

The number of households by displacement status;

The size of the resident population by sex;

The number of internally displaced persons by site;

etc.
4. Reporting to the local administrative authorities: Before leaving the site, the supervisor
accompanied by the team leaders, accompanied by all members of the supervision
team, must provide a verbal report on how data collection activities have gone to the
relevant site manager and thank him or her for their support. This is the case each time
the team leaves one site for another, and one administrative unit for another.
5. Drafting a data collection report in the team zone: Once activities have ended in the
zone, the team leader should draft a general report on how data collection has gone in
his or her zone. This report must be sent to the supervisor..
6. Retrieving data collection material: At the end of data collection operations in the
supervision area, the supervisor must retrieve badges and notebooks, GPS, unused
batteries, etc. from the enumerators and return them to the Profiling Coordinator.
Payment of salaries is condition upon badges being returned.
III.
MONITORING WORK
Much of the work of a team leader consists in systematically checking all questionnaires from
the enumerators. This should enable the team leader to identify all mistakes which have been
made. The aim of the check is to ensure that the information provided in the questionnaire is
true, complete, recorded coherently and in the prescribed manner, and to take corrective
measures when these conditions are not met.
The team leader must ensure continuous training of enumerators. During the first days
primarily, the team leader must check the completed questionnaires; point out and explain
how to correct any mistakes that have been made; evaluate the time taken to fill in the
8
Manual for Team leaders
questionnaire for an average sized household in order to monitor the speed of the
enumerators.
Mistakes in the data collection fall into one of two categories:
 Omissions: the enumerator simply forgot to insert the required information. If this
information can be determined based on the information already contained in the
questionnaire in question, the team manager should themselves make the correction.
 Incompatible information: this is information which is referred to as an 'incoherent
error', i.e. two or more columns have been filled in which are contradictory. Example: if
the age is noted as below 3 years, no information should be entered about marital status
(which only relates to people over the age of 12).
A questionnaire which has been correctly completed should present the following
characteristics:
 All responses are noted legibly and comprehensibly;
 All codes are marked in the boxes;
 All horizontal marks are within the bubbles or cells;
 All questions which apply to the interviewee include a response.
 All questions which do not apply to the interviewee do not include a response (no code
entered, no marks within the guide bubbles or cells);
 There are no conditional statements or incoherence in the responses.
During the checking procedure, these characteristics are checked and any corrections required
are made, if possible with a pencil. Corrections must always be in line with the other
information contained in the questionnaire. Never invent answers.
Checking principles, for the team leader to follow:
1. Check that the instructions relating to the questions to be completed or skipped have
been correctly followed. If the instructions have not been followed, the questionnaire
will contain superfluous information and/or some information will be missing.
Superfluous information must be erased.
2. Ensure the identification characteristics of the questionnaires and the households are
correctly noted; the number of the questionnaire used in the household corresponds to
the number given; etc.
9
Manual for Team leaders
3. Check that the required information has been obtained for each member of the
household. Check that all questions have been asked and appropriate responses were
given in particular questions on age, sex, and family relationship.
4. Check the authenticity of the answers. This is done by drawing a few questionnaires at
random and going to the corresponding households to check the authenticity of the
information collected by the enumerator.
5. Check that on each segment on a site, the enumerator has not counted a household
more than once and that no household and no individual in that segment has been
overlooked.
6. Check the summary forms have been completed; check for internal coherence and
check that the information given matches that given on the household enumeration
form as well as the household survey.
7. Check and ensure that technical documents are not filled in by other people (such as the
respondents, for example);
How to proceed with non-respondent households
If the enumerators report that there are households, who have partly or totally refused to
participate, or households where no one was found able to provide information, the team
leader must go to these households and try to conduct the interviews. If the household
continues to refuse, call upon the local authorities to help you; or if the refusal is definitive,
report the case to the Supervisor.
IV.
ATTITUDES AND SKILLS OF THE TEAM LEADER
The team leader is the head of a team of enumerators. His or her main task is to ensure that
everyone carries out their jobs correctly. In order for the data collection to be conducted
correctly within the time frames, the team leader should always be as close as possible to the
enumerators. In particular, a team leader should:
 Provide advice and encouragement to the enumerators, and be role models in terms of
commitment, dedication and enthusiasm;
10
Manual for Team leaders
 Should show a keen interest in going out in the field to meet both enumerators and
households.
 Not perceive enumerators are being subjected to them;
 Create and maintain a stimulating working environment, keeping the morale high;
 Never criticise enumerators in the presence of local people;
 Organise the group and monitor discipline (time management, team working, etc.);
 Always approach the supervisor with any administrative or technical questions for which
s/he cannot find solutions.
 Respect their supervisor and heed their instructions, their role is to help and guide the
team leader in his or her work;
 Respect local customs, religions and rules;
 Should be courteous and should always dress appropriately.
 Always have received the permission of the site manager, before starting an interview,
carrying out site surveys and delimitations, taking geographic coordinates and/or
deploying enumerators.

A. Supervision zones
Because sites are spread across a whole region and operational deadlines need to be respected,
specific measures are taken to reasonably reduce the costs of the exercise, while ensuring the
best technical and logistical supervision possible of teams operating in the field.
Displacement sites are scattered over XX provinces (or regions, or departments) as follows:
Table 1: Distribution of sites of displaced people by province (or region or department)
Province
Number of sites
Estimated number of households on these sites
Taking into account the size of the sites, the available transport, the environment, the access
conditions for the sites, geographical spread, and above all the estimated length of data
collection operations in the field (XX days), the scope of the exercise has been subdivided into
XX supervision zones. Table 2 below shows how the exercise field is split into supervision zones.
Table 2: Dividing the exercise area into supervision zones
12
Manual for Team leaders
Region
Number of the supervision zones
The data collection procedure will last XX days. On the basis that the average enumerator
counts xx households per day and interviews xx households per day, and based on the
characteristics of the sites, xx enumerators are allocated to collect data within the set time
frame.
B. Communal supervision zone
[A communal supervision zone can be set up as a starting point of the data collection and where
all data collection staff is involved. Data collection in individual supervision zones takes place
after this.]
Data collection in the communal supervision zone is very important for at least two reasons:



It aims to ensure that all data collection procedures are adhered to correctly by all staff
involved in data collection;
It provides supervisors with the practical means of assessing progress plans established for
other supervision zones, and if necessary enables them to readjust the data collection
diagram in some supervision zones, taking into account financial, logistical and time
constraints.
It provides an opportunity to check the technical documents and assess the performance of
the enumerators
The communal supervision zone generally includes sites situated inside the area where the
enumerators are trained, and the surrounding areas. Data collection operations start here with
all collection staff. The size of the communal supervision zone, in terms of the number of sites,
is defined in such a way that all collection teams and all available vehicles allocated to the zone
can conduct all data collection within a maximum of XX days [adjust as appropriate]. The last
two days are especially dedicated to debriefing enumerators, team leaders and supervisors in
order to improve the implementation of procedures relating to data collection operations.
These two final days must also be used by supervisors to conduct a final re-assessment of team
progress plans in the supervision zones as well as individual performance if needed, before they
are deployed in the field.
13
Manual for Team leaders
C. Data collection strategy
The team leader, in partnership with the supervisor, and with the agreement of the technical
coordinator, is responsible for defining the data collection strategy for each site within the
team zone to which they have been allocated.
A so called sweeping method of collecting the data can be done in three ways:
1. Posting each enumerator on a different site to collect the required data before
redeploying them to another site.
2. Using the same procedure as before, but posting two enumerators working together
on a site. In this option, there is the possibility of breaking the site down into working
zones and distributing them between the two enumerators who will interview the
households in their working zone, segment after segment, until the site has been
completely covered. They then progress together to another site.
3. Posting all enumerators on one site, taking care to carefully split the site into as many
working zones as there are enumerators, and ensuring that sequential numbering of
structures by block is always respected. They thus progress from site to site, until the
whole team zone and/or supervision zone is completely covered.
Depending on the specific characteristics of the supervision zone, the supervisor or the team
leader may choose one of the other methods, or may combine two of them. The criteria to be
taken into account in choosing one or other of these methods are:

scale of the supervision zone;

spread of sites in this area and the distance between them;

estimated number of households living on the sites;

condition of the roads and access routes to the site;

position of sites in relation to the main town in the administrative unit;

accommodation, catering and group work facilities for checking completed
questionnaires;

choice of location for the team's living quarters;
14
Manual for Team leaders

availability of the populations in the survey zones;

condition of the communication network;

means of transport made available to the team, etc.
Regardless of the sweeping method chosen, the team leader should take care to minimise the
length of time involved in transferring enumerators from one site to another within a team
zone, and should take care to psychologically prepare the populations on each site well in
advance of the enumerators arriving and setting up in this zone.
VI.
SITE MANAGERS QUESTIONNAIRE –GUIDANCE
The 'Site Manager' questionnaire is a document which the Team Leader should fill in with the
answers provided by the site manager and/or his or her representatives on each site. These
questions relate to the site characteristics, property information about the site, security,
governance, and infrastructures on the site. It contains XX modules.
This questionnaire essentially contains numerical variables, alphabetic variables and qualitative
variables which are pre-coded and to which the responses provided should be noted, using a
number or a letter in the space provided.
For pre-coded qualitative variables, the team leader should convert the response provided into
a numerical code, by referring to the list of codes in the questionnaire or in the Enumerator's
Manual.
For numerical variables, there are no particular issues, the Team Leader should note, in the
boxes provided, the figures corresponding to the number provided in response to the question
asked (e.g. the size of the household).
The 'site manager' questionnaire is subdivided into XX modules.
[Specify the content of the ‘site managers’ questionnaire accordingly].

Manual for Team leaders
ANNEX A: MANUAL FOR A GPS
How to use the GPS
Detailed training on the use of your GPS model will be given during the training session using
the manuals which can be found in the GPS box. This guide covers the main points which you
should remember when using the GPS.
Preparing the GPS
Regardless of the GPS model which you have been given, you should ensure it is correctly
adjusted. The settings to be included are:
Units: metric measurement units should be selected
System of coordinates: Decimal degrees (hh.dddddd)
Map references: WGS 8484
In order to adjust these parameters on your GPS, go to the settings page. If you are not familiar
with this procedure, ask your survey Supervisor to set the GPS for you.
How to adjust the coordinates
For the majority of GPS models which will be used, information on recording locations can be
found under 'marking a waypoint'. Ensure that the following steps are correct before trying to
mark a 'waypoint'.
1. The settings are adjusted as described above.
2. The satellite page of your GPS indicates that there are four or more satellites on the map.
3. You know the number of the site where you are.
4. Move away from high buildings or tall trees as they can provide false readings.
Do not take readings close to tall trees, as these can block the satellite reception.
When you are ready, you should go to the 'mark waypoint' page and note the following
coordinates:
1. Latitude: Note South (S) on the questionnaire.
2. Longitude: Note East (E) on the questionnaire.
18
Manual for Team leaders
How to check coordinates
To check the coordinates which have been recorded are correct:
1. Turn your GPS off.
2. Turn it on again.
3. Check the GPS settings on the settings page.
4. Go to the satellite page and make sure that there are enough satellites in the window.
5. Go to the 'mark waypoint' page and read the coordinates again.
6. If they are different and it is between noon and 2pm, note this, because it is possible
that you will have to take another reading later.
The Team Leader for the survey will ensure that the coordinates recorded are inside the
coordinate zone for the site.
Creation and use of waypoints with your model
Waypoints are places or benchmarks which you record and keep in the memory of your GPS.
You can add waypoints to journeys, and even create a direct route to the selected point.
There are three methods of creating waypoints: You can press Enter when you are at a given
location, create a waypoint on a map page, or manually enter the coordinates of a waypoint.
Marking the actual location
Hold down the arrow keys to quickly MARK your position and create a waypoint. You should
acquire a valid position (2D or 3D) to mark your current location.
Waypoint marker page
To mark your current location:
1. Hold the arrow keys down (Mark) until the Waypoint Marker page appears. A name
and a default three figure symbol are assigned to the new point.
2. To accept this waypoint and the default information, select OK.
3. OR to change the information, select the desired field and press Enter to display the
19
Manual for Team leaders
virtual keyboard. Enter and confirm your changes, then click OK.
Using traces
The Trace function creates a breadcrumb trail on the Map page (trace log) as and when you
move. The trace log contains information about different points on the route.
The log starts to record as soon as the GPS recognises its position using satellite signals. The
percentage of memory used for the trace log appears at the top of the Trace page.
To display a trace on the map:
On the Trace page saved, select Map. A map will display showing the trace. Start and finish
markers and the user's waypoints are added to the route.
To calculate a trace zone:
1. Open the Trace log page, activate the Trace option and click on Menu.
2. Selection Calculate zone and click.
3. Press Enter to start the zone calculation. When you move and define the boundaries of the
zone, the Stop button appears at the bottom of the page.
4. Once the zone has been defined, press Enter and select Save.
