Research Assistance

My research was supported in part by a partnership with the Zanzibar Office of the Chief Government Statistician (OCGS). I employed 13 enumerators to carry out the data collection in 18 neighborhoods across the island. Since I am happy with their work, I would like to give them some exposure, and recommend them for whoever wants to carry out economic research in Unguja.

I have listed their names, locations where they work, and contact information.
