Overview

Kenya’s Presidential Working Party consulted people across the country on the state of education and what needed to change. Education Development Trust was contracted to analyse public submissions, including emails, formal memoranda, handwritten notes, and questionnaires.

I helped turn the submissions into a structured dataset and coordinated coding and quality review. The lead researcher used my summaries and visualisations when compiling the report.

My Contributions

Data capture and coding
I helped design the codebook and build Google Forms for consistent data entry. I coordinated the photographing and transcription of handwritten submissions.
Team coordination
I helped recruit and coordinate about 100 data clerks and served as the main point of contact between them, the senior researcher, and the Working Party’s committees.
Quality and reporting
I assigned reviewers, verified coded submissions, and prepared summaries and visualisations for the lead researcher.
