KNCV country teams in Nigeria and Kyrgyzstan and a country team from the Yayasan KNCV Indonesia conducted stakeholder interviews through focus group discussions and individual interviews; teams collected both qualitative and quantitative information. The country teams were supported by research and PMDT consultants from KNCV the Hague. Interviews were written and translated, all information was imported in a database and analyzed.
