The Training of Enumerators of Baseline Survey for the Myanmar Women's Empowerment Project

As part of the Seoul YWCA’s Myanmar Women's Empowering Project, the Women Development Center in Thanduanggyi, has been successfully extended. Furthermore, a baseline survey will be carried out in July. It aims to gather information about the basic living standards of the residents and their demand for vocational training. From June 22 to 23, Myanmar YWCA conducted training of enumerators using Messenger Rooms, an online conference platform, due to the ban on inter-regional travel and gatherings in the village, which are the countermeasures against Covid-19.

Ten young people who are fluent in Bwe Karen language, Myanmar language and proficient in Internet use were selected as local enumerators for the baseline survey.

National YWCA of Myanmar shared the goal and details of the “Myanmar Women's Empowering Project” with enumerators. In addition, they were trained on survey ethics, what to do during door-to-door surveys, what should be done (providing detailed guidance on the survey, the confidentiality of personal information), and what should not be done (inducing responses and arbitrarily changing responses). They will visit 300 households in Thanduanggyi in July to conduct the survey. At the same time, group interviews will be conducted with the female residents, local officials, and hospitality officials to lay the groundwork for further development of Myanmar Women's Empowering Project.

However, when the first class had started, my thought changed completely. Still, there were a lot of insufficiencies in our classes. Although Kits for the class were not enough and student’s academic achievement was different from what we had expected, student liked us as ourselves regardless of the poor teaching. Though we made a mistake, they accepted and loved it as part of ourselves. Only then, I realized that I am the one who can’t really adjust in Tanzania, not our team members. There were a lot of problems while we had worked in Tanzania. There were conflicts among colleagues and sometimes miscommunication with local people caused some misunderstanding and conflicts. However, we tried to u...
