Local field teams in Rwanda
M31 Research has an established presence in Rwanda, with local field teams, bilingual enumerators fluent in Kinyarwanda, English and French, and experienced field supervisors. Being in-country brings cultural sensitivity, language fluency and community trust to every data collection exercise.
Enumerators and field teams are carefully selected and trained in ethical data collection, quality assurance protocols and advanced interviewing techniques.

M31 Research is registered and compliant with Rwanda's legal and regulatory requirements for research. We have experience obtaining Rwanda National Ethics Committee (RNEC) approvals and government research permits, so studies meet national and international ethical standards.

Our multi-layered quality assurance system includes real-time data validation and monitoring dashboards, automated error checks and logical consistency tests, and supervisor-led spot checks and field validations. These processes deliver accurate, complete and reliable datasets.
