Your fieldwork partner in Morocco.
You bring the research design. KD delivers the local execution — localization, enumerator recruitment, training, CAPI/CATI fieldwork, supervision, quality control, daily reporting and secure data handover.
KD Surveys is the fieldwork offer of Kahima Development, a Moroccan company and subsidiary of the French group Oréade-Brèche.
Your protocol. Our field capacity in Morocco.
A strong research design still needs disciplined fieldwork.
International research teams need more than enumerators. They need a local partner able to translate a protocol into field operations without silently changing the study design.
Will the instrument work locally?
Language, terminology, examples and respondent understanding must be tested without changing the construct being measured.
Can the right team be mobilized?
Profiles, language, geography, gender balance, experience and availability must match the study.
Do enumerators understand the protocol?
Certification should test comprehension, interviewing skills, ethics and tool readiness before deployment.
Can the client see what is happening?
Production, quality, incidents and deviations need clear daily reporting and escalation rules.
Who approves field adaptations?
Protocol changes should never be improvised by the field team. Deviations and change requests need traceability.
Are the data ready for the research team?
Delivery must preserve IDs, versions, raw data, documentation and the client's expected schema.
Local execution without taking over your research design.
KD works as an implementation partner. The client or lead research team retains ownership of the study design, sampling logic, estimands and analytical decisions unless a broader scope is explicitly commissioned.
From protocol handover to final data delivery.
Modules can be commissioned individually or as a full fieldwork package.
Protocol & Feasibility Review
Field assumptions, geography, respondent access, timing, staffing, logistics and operational risks.
Translation & Localization
French/Arabic localization, terminology review, programmed checks and documented client approval.
Recruitment
Enumerators, supervisors and specialized profiles selected against study-specific requirements.
Training & Certification
Protocol, questionnaire, ethics, role plays, device practice, assessment and readiness decision.
Pilot
Field test, timing, comprehension issues, skip logic, operational constraints and pilot debrief.
Field Deployment
CAPI/CATI execution, allocations, supervisor structure, logistics and daily production management.
QA & Back-checks
High-frequency checks, spot checks, back-checks, enumerator patterns, incidents and corrective actions.
Data & Handover
Daily extracts where agreed, frozen delivery, codebook, logs and close-out documentation.
A transparent execution chain.
Responsibilities, approvals and escalation points are established before fieldwork starts so that local execution remains aligned with the research protocol.
You should not have to wait until the end to discover a field problem.
KD organizes QA and reporting as part of field operations, with clear escalation for issues that may affect protocol compliance, sample integrity or data quality.
What your research team receives.
The exact package follows the contract and client protocol, but the objective is a transparent handover with no ambiguity about versions, field decisions or QA status.
Your study. Our local execution.
The division of responsibilities is agreed project by project. The model below reflects the default positioning of KD Fieldwork Partner.
Client / Research Lead
- Research question and study design
- Sampling methodology and estimands
- Final questionnaire content approval
- Approval of material protocol changes
- Statistical/econometric analysis unless commissioned
- Publication and interpretation decisions
KD Surveys
- Local feasibility and field planning
- Localization and operational testing
- Recruitment, training and certification
- Field logistics and supervision
- QA, back-checks and issue management
- Data delivery and field documentation
Built for demanding survey operations in Morocco.
KD combines large-scale household survey experience with social and environmental field expertise, allowing teams to operate in urban, peri-urban and infrastructure contexts.
Multi-regional field mobilization and socioeconomic data collection associated with a major infrastructure project.
Extensive household-level field experience in a complex resettlement and social monitoring environment.
Field operations designed with data protection in mind.
KD Surveys can align field procedures with the data-protection and research-ethics requirements defined for each assignment.
Moroccan Law 09-08
Field procedures are designed to support compliance with applicable requirements of Moroccan Law No. 09-08. [TO CONFIRM: applicable CNDP filing/authorization status and reference.]
Clear information for participants
Protocols can include project-specific information sheets, consent language and procedures adapted to the study population.
Separate contact and analytical data
Where the study design permits, respondent contact details are kept separate from analytical datasets and linked through controlled technical identifiers.
Restricted access and IRB readiness
Access can be limited by role and the field protocol can be configured to support an ethics/IRB review when required. [TO CONFIRM: hosting location and applicable retention policy.]
Send us your protocol. We will translate it into a field operation.
Share the target population, locations, sample size, mode, questionnaire status and expected field dates. KD can then scope the local execution requirements.
Local survey data collection and field research support in Morocco.
KD Surveys by Kahima Development provides survey fieldwork, enumerator recruitment, CAPI and CATI data collection, field supervision, back-checks, quality assurance and research operations support for international consulting firms, universities, research institutions, NGOs and development organizations working in Morocco.
