Also, prior to data gathering, the design and data collection instruments underwent a thorough review and triangulation by a very senior researcher from a University in Ghana. As an expert in gender and livelihoods, the expert reviewed all the tools to ensure they meet ethical standards, gender-responsive and minimum quality.
