Data gathering
Interviews
Interviews are carried out with people from different villages, selected to re-present different socioeconomic sectors of the society (gender, age, wealth, etc.).
In each interview we use a predeter-mined set of questions relating to the persons knowledge of the fibre palm. We use simple statistical methods such as mixed linear regression and logistic regression analysis.
