SIVIO Institute has since the beginning conducted an annual survey of Zimbabwean Citizens’ Perceptions and Expectations (CPE) of their government. Throughout October, the team of enumerators were busy around the country interviewing citizens from all ten provinces in Zimbabwe. The methodology has been consistent across the 5 years as the team employs a quota sampling method to ensure a representative sample of 1,200 respondents from the 10 provinces of Zimbabwe. Each province contributed an equal number of respondents, with a balanced gender representation. To align with the national demographic distribution reported in the 2022 national census, we ensured that most respondents were from rural areas.
The enumerators were trained through the methodology, and each tested and administered the survey to ensure the quality of responses. Once the survey was refined and approved by the research team, the enumerators were tasked with collecting data throughout October. Continuous monitoring and adjustments were made based on a daily report generated by the SIVIO team to maintain the quota requirements and ensure data quality.
