Adapt Your Methods To Your Audience

Tailor your outreach and data collection methods to suit the communication preferences and cultural contexts of your audience. The more accessible and relatable your engagement methods, the more meaningful your responses will be. Consider:

• Promoting surveys via trusted platforms your audience already uses (e.g., WhatsApp, Facebook, local radio)
• Using plain, accessible language
• Incorporating photos, infographics, maps, and simple diagrams to make complex information easier to understand
• Hosting focus groups, informal interviews, or community meetings in familiar spaces where participants feel comfortable

Remember to leverage your personal and professional network.
