• Assess completeness, accuracy, and relevance. 
• Document data gaps and understand local constraints and capabilities.
• Strategy Development and Execution
• Design and implement tailored data collection strategies to address identified gaps. This may include surveys, document requests, interviews, or other creative approaches suited to the country office’s context and capacity.
• Stakeholder Engagement and Support
• Collaborate with country office staff to build trust and ensure alignment with local practices. 
• Provide guidance and support to help offices understand data requirements and contribute effectively to the collection process.
• Documentation and Reporting
• Maintain organized records of data collection activities, including progress trackers, gap logs, and country-specific plans. 
• Provide regular updates to the project team and contribute to knowledge sharing across the implementation effort.
