Income (SSI). The main responsibilities of Kapa Research in this project are:

  • Designing sampling protocols to ensure that the sample is representative of the population of Greek households, oversamples
    poor population, and representative of SSI beneficiaries, as well as preparing sampling weights to ensure that data is
    representative at the population level when analysis includes the oversampled groups,
  • Designing the questionnaire as a Survey Solutions CAPI instrument,
  • Piloting the questionnaire, and implementing corrections and adjustments,
  • Recruitment and training of field staff,
  • Conducting the survey and performing data quality management,

The project is scheduled to be completed by February 2018, and will provide the basis for assessing performance
of the targeting design, and the implementation, as well as for robustly examining the impact of the SSI program
on various indicators including that of targeting performance, poverty effect, labor market outcomes and other
welfare indicators.
