JibuData

JibuData is a US-based field research company that designs and runs surveys across African countries. They combine trained local enumerator teams with rigorous quality assurance to provide data collection services. Their services include survey design, computer-assisted personal interviewing, computer-assisted telephone interviewing, and qualitative research. The company also manages enumerator networks and training for field studies.

The business operates standing enumerator networks and field supervisors across four regions, coordinated from the United States. These regions include East Africa, West Africa, Southern Africa, and Central Africa, covering countries like Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, and DR Congo.

JibuData offers five main modules for their field research services. These include survey design and sampling, computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI), computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI), qualitative research, and enumerator networks and training. Each module is designed to run end to end from the first sampling frame to the final cleaned dataset.

The company has completed over 2,400 interviews to date and has independently back-checked over 1.2 million responses. They maintain a roster of 2,400+ trained enumerators and operate in 14 countries with standing field networks. This data demonstrates their scale and commitment to quality assurance.

JibuData's process involves five stages: scope and design, recruit and train, fieldwork, data quality and delivery, and final reporting. Enumerators are selected from local rosters, trained on the instrument, and certified before they begin knocking on doors. You can see fieldwork progress and quality flags in near real time through their system.

The company uses tablet-based software with offline-first capabilities for in-person data collection. This software includes GPS capture and allows for same-day upload from the field. They also utilize SMS or IVR follow-ups for high-frequency tracking in their CATI module.

JibuData provides services in multiple languages, including Swahili, as indicated by the name 'Jibu' which means 'answer' in Swahili. They also conduct computer-assisted telephone interviewing in local languages to ensure accurate data collection across diverse populations.

JibuData states that they pressure-test all instruments, sampling plans, budgets, and timelines against field reality during the scope and design phase. This ensures that their research designs are practical and feasible before implementation.

The company offers both end-to-end field research services and modular services that can slot into existing studies. Clients can choose to have JibuData run every module of a study or just specific parts like survey design or data collection.

JibuData emphasizes that they provide data you can defend without needing to leave your desk twelve time zones away. This highlights their ability to deliver reliable data remotely while maintaining high standards.
