3.8.2. Observation
While conducting face to face interviews with respondents, the
researcher also used the observation technique to get relevant information.
This helped the researcher to clarify certain types of information such as
living standards, health status to mention but a few.
3.8.3. Documentation
Secondary data was collected from published books, journals,
newspapers reports and academic writing from different libraries, electronic
documents from the internet, and personnel records. All of these were accessed
to add on the primary data from the field. The researcher used various
published texts to obtain secondary data that seemed relevant to the study.
However, some unpublished documents such as those provided by officials of
Ruganda sector were also used.
3.8.4. Questionnaire
Questionnaire was the main tool of data collection. Completed
questionnaires were received from 30 respondents of CBHI. This technique helped
to collect primary data through a survey based on self-administered structured
questionnaires with both open-ended and close-ended questions. They were
administered to mainly two categories of respondents to include; staffs at
cells and sector levels and beneficiaries of CBHI.
3.9. Data processing and data analysis
3.9.1. Data Processing
According to Marut, Bisht, (2000), data processing refers to
the transformation of respondents `views into meaningful form and classifying
responses into categories.
Under this study, data processing and analysis involved
preparing the data which was gathered into useful meaning, clear and
understandable information. Hence, in order to achieve this process, editing,
tabulation and analysis of data was required so as to enable the researcher
draw the objective conclusion in relation to the problem under investigation.
Both quantitative and qualitative techniques were used to process and analyze
the collected data. We have to note that data which was collected was analyzed
and interpreted in reference to the established objectives. Then, the results
were presented in the form of tables and texts.
3.9.1.1 Editing
During data editing, errors that occurred during the stress
and strain of collecting data from the respondents was detected and eliminated.
After data was collected, the exercise of inspection and editing followed in
order to remove inconsistency in the responses and making necessary collections
of partial or vague answers. This was done mainly as an attempt to insure that
information provided by the respondent was complete and relevant.
3.9.1.2 Tabulation
Tabulation dialed with putting data into some kind of
statistical tablets showing the number of responses in particular. In other
words, it can be defined as the process of putting data into some sort of
statistical tablets with percentages used to express data into a ratio format.
The collected data was analyzed along the objectives of the study.
3.9.2 Data analysis
Content analysis was used to give a description of the state
of affairs as it exists at present, what happened or is happening, and then
discover the causes and relationships in order to come up with some useful
conclusions and recommendations.
