Field Data Collection & Geospatial Survey — Household Cooking Technologies Research (Nairobi)
Worked as a Field Research Clerk and Data Collector for an academic research study commissioned by eed Advisory in partnership with Loughborough University and MECS (Modern Energy Cooking Services), focused on fuel stacking behaviour and cooking technology adoption among households in the Nairobi region. Core responsibilities involved conducting structured household interviews using a standardised digital questionnaire, capturing and inputting respondent answers in real time via a tablet-based data collection system. Used QField mapping software to navigate to and locate target households across assigned geographic zones, and recorded precise GPS geolocations for each interviewed household — directly producing geospatial data points tied to survey responses. After each interview, verified completeness and accuracy of all questionnaire entries before submission to eed Advisory's central data system, ensuring zero missing fields and consistent data quality across all records. Also presented system-generated cooking technology recommendations to respondents based on their survey responses, requiring clear communication and the ability to explain technical information in accessible terms.
