The Director of NIS functions as the Survey Director, and the six officers are designated as the area coordinators. The Survey Director will be responsible for the control and supervision of NIS Staff as well as the staff engaged from the Provincial Planning and Statistics Services who will function in the capacities of supervisors and enumerators.

The work of field enumerators will be supervised by field supervisors (1 field supervisor supervising the work of 3 to 6 enumerators ), who will edit the completed questionnaires.

The middle level staff of NIS and Provincial Planning and Statistics Services will be engaged as supervisors. The success of the fieldwork will depend so much on the recruitment, training and deployment of NIS and provincial staff. The engagement of the provincial staff for field supervision and enumeration will make it possible to enjoin the active cooperation of commune and village workers for the survey.

In general, a supervisor is assigned to supervise enumerators during field operations. The major duties and responsibilities of a supervisor in relation to the work of an enumerator are the following:
As a supervisor, supervisor is responsible for the successful and timely completion of the field operations in the area where supervisor is assigned which may be a whole village or a segment of a big village. Following the principle of command responsibility, supervisor is answerable for the inefficiencies and wrong doings of the people supervisor supervises. To be effective, supervisor must be a leader and be capable of propelling your subordinates to work for the attainment of the objectives of the survey. Supervisor must be ready to assist them in the performance of their duties. Supervisor subordinates should be able to rely on you for the solution of the day-to-day problems of their work. To effectively carry out supervisor 's duty as a supervisor, each of supervisor will be assigned 3 to 6 Enumerators.
