The community profile is elicited through a series of group interviews conducted in the community during the initial days of field work. The community profile allows the research team to become familiar with community characteristics and issues relating to social capital for reference in later phases of the data collection. The group interviews establish a consensus definition of the “community” in which the research takes place. This definition will be used throughout the community profile exercise and will serve as reference for the interviews of the household survey. It will also define the catchment area of institutions for the organizational profile.
