1-2-3 Survey, phase 1
This second (post-Ebola) baseline data collection exercise was preceded by a pre-Ebola data collection exercise in 2013.
The Liberia Health Systems Strengthening Project Impact Evaluation aims to assess the impact of Performance Based Financing (PBF) activities at target hospitals. This second (post-Ebola) baseline data collection exercise was preceded by a pre-Ebola data collection exercise in 2013.
The data collection comprised 33 separate instruments, which were designed to measure the presence of health workers, their skills, capacity to perform, performance, and motivation. In addition, the infrastructure and supplies of each facility were also assessed. All baseline survey instruments were used in an earlier baseline data collection exercise carried out by the project in the 2013, and have been reviewed since by the PIs in consultation with the clinical Ministry of Health (MOH) in order to verify their medical accuracy and local appropriateness. The instruments were revised accordingly prior to the training of the enumerators MOH.

A total of 32 enumerators and 2 supervisors were mobilized by the MOH and World Bank, and trained in areas such as: the objectives of the data collection, the ethics of research in the field, the main guidance rules for quality assurance during data collection, the organization and logistics of the data collection, and familiarization and practice with the data collection instruments. The enumerators were recruited and specifically trained to administer certain instruments based on their area of expertise. This is because a large part of the data collection instruments require medical training to be successfully administered.
