Field operations are planned with a clear understanding of political, security, and access constraints specific to each location.

Data collection approaches are adapted to context, including flexible scheduling, alternative access routes, and mixed-mode methods when in-person access is limited.

Local coordinators and field supervisors guide implementation to ensure cultural sensitivity, community acceptance, and safe access.

Real-time monitoring allows rapid adjustments to deployment plans when conditions change.

All activities prioritize staff safety, respondent protection, and continuity of data quality under uncertainty.
