Key Informant Interviews Sample Clauses

The Key Informant Interviews clause establishes the requirement for conducting interviews with individuals who possess specialized knowledge or experience relevant to the subject matter of a project or study. Typically, this clause outlines the process for identifying, selecting, and interviewing these key informants, as well as the methods for documenting and using the information gathered. Its core practical function is to ensure that valuable insights and firsthand perspectives are systematically collected, thereby enhancing the quality and depth of the research or evaluation.
Key Informant Interviews. The KIs were designed to elicit information on the factors that contributed to success, as well as the challenges and barriers that hindered the implementation of the action plans. E2A interviewed country team members and key stakeholders from the MOH, PAC-FP focal point persons/champions at the target facilities selected by the country team for implementation of the action plan, and NGOs and CAs that participated in the VFCP and who were directly involved in the development and/or implementation of the action plans, irrespective of whether they were working in the same position or had transferred to a different position at the time of the assessment. In addition, telephone and Skype KIs were conducted with six global stakeholders, including USAID, WHO/IBP Secretariat, implementing partners, and CAs (IntraHealth and EngenderHealth), who supported PAC-FP at country level in the four countries, and facilitators of the VFCP from MSH and Jhpiego. Among those not interviewed were country team members who were never involved in implementation of the action plan after the 2008 Saly meeting, or otherwise not available for an interview (Table 2).
Key Informant Interviews. The team conducted interviews with key informants from USAID/Nigeria, USAID/W, USAID implementing partners, the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH), SMOHs and LGA officials from Kano, Zamfara and Katsina states, facility staff and community groups and workers. A complete list of persons contacted during the evaluation is in Annex C; question matrices, facility checklists, FGD discussion guides are in Annex D.
Key Informant Interviews. Key informant interviews (▇▇▇▇) were used to better understand the perceptions and roles of the sources of IYCF information identified in the ten-seed analysis and the social mapping activity. KIIs were conducted with (1) PHU nurses, (2) MtMSG facilitators, (3) TBAs, and (4) community leaders (i.e., Imam). Participants self- identified as one of the following: PHU nurse, MTMSG facilitator, TBA, or community leader. Each key informant interview was conducted in a quiet, secluded location to maximize privacy. Several topics were discussed in KIIs, including the following: gender roles, gender equality, sources of IYCF information, MtMSGs, other forms of social support and individual counseling versus support groups. The guide for the KIIs can be found in Appendix C. In total, three KIIs were conducted with PHU nurses and MtMSG facilitators in three chiefdoms over the two districts. Two KIIs were conducted with TBAs in two chiefdoms, both of which were located within Koinadugo. Additionally, a KII was conducted with a community leader, an Imam (religious leader), in a single chiefdom in Tonkolili. A copy of the key informant interview guides used with the various participants can be found in Appendix C.
Key Informant Interviews. Key informants included village chiefs, pastors, and initiation ceremony counselors and were sampled purposively from areas of high unintended pregnancy occurrence. We used community gate keepers and informal networks, such as health care workers and chiefs to identify the key informants. We recruited three initiation counsellors, identified by the chiefs of the villages. The traditional birth attendant (TBA) was recruited through the Safe Motherhood coordinator. The three pastors and the chiefs were recruited through health extension workers. This sampling procedure provided a diversity of views because the participants came from various rural areas and represented diverse age groups, religious affiliations, and leadership roles.
