CFFESD deployed 1000 impartial stationary observers to a random and a representative sample for the country nationwide as well as for the municipalities of Tirana, Shkodër and Durrës. CFFESD's qualitative data is reliable with a 95 % confidence interval, within margin of error (MoE) +/- 4 % nationwide, +/- 5 % for Tirana, +/- 5 % for Durrës and +/- 5 % for Shkodra. CFFESD's response rate from the national sample was 100%, while for the selected municipalities of Tirana, Durrës and Shkodër, the response rate was more than 95%. Missing data was proportionally distributed throughout the country and therefore does not compromise the reliability of data.
