The pilot mapping looked into discourses, policies and instruments review, subject matter
covered and not covered by academic literature, ‘gray’ literature. These are research outputs of
institutions such as the United Nations (UN) and Commission on Human Rights (CHR), of which
production of research and literature are not its primary functions.
In discussing research methodology and tools, it was underscored that the use of checklist will
be valuable in making an initial inventory of what we know, what we have and what is available
and in doing a scan of information needs and gaps that should be checked.
Corresponding data collection method instruments such as FGD Guides and Interview Guides
were briefly discussed. These guides will be used to have an in-depth discussion on the areas of
inquiry and to validate certain information which surfaced in the review of literature, initial
scanning, and other previous data gathering methods.
One challenge in the conduct of FGD and interviews are the availability of participants and
informants as well as transcription, processing and analysis of transcripts. From these transcripts
and information from documents review, matrix/matrices of themes will be generated. These
will be valuable in (1) mapping out and collate recurring and emerging themes linked or not to
the specific areas of inquiry set; (2) facilitating identification of themes from the data, as well as
data gaps; (3) identifying trends that could lead to further deepening or more conclusive
analysis.
