Working with Enumerators

The majority of this toolkit is focused on training the core CSO implementation team in using the WASH-GEM. Yet working with enumerators is a key component of this process.

On this page, you will find a collection of tools and resources for working with enumerators. Enumerators are the individuals who conduct the survey with respondents. They are sometimes referred to as interviewers or surveyors.

These materials are written for the CSO implementation team as they prepare to work with enumerators.
