Methodological framework integrating qualitative and quantitative approaches for socio-economic survey work. Final technical report (NRI report no. 2590)

摘要

The main objective of this project was to improve survey methodologies used in the natural resources sector, leading in turn to improved quality of information required for decision-making at the various stages of RNR programmes and projects. The project attempted to bridge the gap between informal I qualitative methods on the one hand and formal I quantitative ones on the other. It is expected that improved decision making in natural resources projects will ultimately lead to more sustainable livelihoods and poverty reduction in rural areas of developing countries.
