FGD Team-

FGD will be done by a facilitator, note keeper and supporting staff. Supporting staff will record and video. Researcher itself or skilled/trained person can be facilitator. Note keeper's information will be triangulated with supporting staff recorder. When FGD is running, then all data will be displayed in Flipchart in summative form. Local language will be used.

Data validation-

    Whether my data is significant or not? FGD data must be compare with any national level data like BBA in Bangladesh or any previous research/benchmark. If compare result is close then my research is valid.
