Reaching Angolan Farmers Through CATI

Agriculture is playing an increasingly important role in Angola's economic diversification, with renewed investments in commercial farming, food production, and rural development creating new opportunities across the sector. Long distances between farming communities, varying infrastructure, and the scale of agricultural activities can make traditional field data collection both resource-intensive and difficult to sustain.

Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) offers a practical solution, enabling organizations to engage farmers through structured telephone interviews that deliver timely, dependable insights while reducing the operational demands of repeated field visits. Whether supporting agricultural transformation, evaluating donor-funded initiatives, or monitoring value chain development, CATI Africa helps organizations maintain continuous access to the information they need to make confident decisions across Angola.

Supporting Agricultural Research, Monitoring and Evaluation

For agricultural research, Monitoring & Evaluation, and baseline studies, organizations need consistent access to farmers throughout the life of a project. In Angola, where agricultural activities are spread across vast regions and rural communities can be widely dispersed, maintaining regular engagement through traditional fieldwork alone can be both costly and time-intensive. CATI provides a practical way to collect dependable evidence while reducing the operational demands of repeated site visits.

CATI Africa enables organizations to:

• Reach farmers across widely dispersed agricultural regions
• Reduce the cost and complexity of field data collection
• Collect timely insights throughout the agricultural season
• Strengthen programme reporting with dependable evidence

As investments in agricultural production and rural development continue to grow, organizations increasingly rely on CATI to support:

• Agricultural baseline and endline studies
• Monitoring of agricultural interventions
• Farmer livelihood assessments
• Agricultural value chain research

By combining experienced interviewers, multilingual interviewing capabilities, and rigorous quality assurance, CATI Africa delivers reliable agricultural data that helps governments, development partners, agribusinesses, and research institutions evaluate impact and make informed decisions across Angola.
