Question:
Sir

Please help me with example how to do the analysis and document Focused Group Discussion(FGD) on water Borne Disease
Answer:

There are different way to analyze and document focus group discussions. One simple way is to gather two or more people and go through the responses to identify themes and summarize what was said. Then share your notes and interpretation of the findings with two or three individuals who participated and/or two or three others from the community from which they were selected to ensure you have captured what was important to them and to make sure you have accurately captured their voice.
If you feel unsure about you or your team's ability to do this correctly, it may be helpful to contact a researcher or evaluator from a local university or other individual with experience and training in qualitative research methods. You might also consult a book on qualitative research that includes a good chapter on how to analyze and report the findings. You may also want to check out resources offered by the American Evaluation Association's public elibrary of resources at www.eval.org.
