Description The present document provides guidelines for processing data collected through the STEP Household Questionnaire.
It is specifically intended for Project Managers and all Data Entry Staff, regardless of the Data Entry Program (DEP) they are using, and details:
(i) the data entry process and timing;
(ii) the structure data files must comply with before being submitted to the World Bank STEP Core Team;
(iii) data checks all Survey Firms are expected to carry out during fieldwork and data cleaning.

The guidelines are organized in three points:
(i) Standards, which describe particular norms the Survey Firm is expected to comply with;
(ii) Information to provide During Fieldwork;
(iii) Information to provide in the Final Implementation Report.

Survey Firms are asked to provide either the full list or the frequency of particular inconsistencies:
- A full list of inconsistencies is required in cases that are unlikely to occur;
- Whereas only frequencies are required in cases that are more likely to present errors.
