 Back-Checking:

Both supervisors and back-checkers will back-check 15% of the  interviews

Rigorous Enforcement:

Fraudulent interviewers will be dismissed and reported to the project manager; all their interviews will be pulled out and discarded

100% Editing:

At the end of each day, for PAPI supervisors will edit all interviews conducted that day; incomplete questionnaires will be returned to the interviewer for completion and if the interviewer repeats the same mistake after being corrected by the supervisor, they will be dismissed.
