RTA has succeeded in many large-scale and important surveys throughout difficult regions in Vietnam as well as in other countries in a short period of time. RTA’s datasets have served partners and clients well, and are revered for their accuracy and quality. RTA’s seal of excellence is rooted in three factors:

  • Ability to apply technology to achieve transparency and efficiency during surveys, data collection, and Monitoring & Evaluation;
  • A team of experienced survey and research experts, and an extensive network of development research experts and consultants;
  • A network of nationwide enumerators, who are fully trained, educated, equipped with the local language and knowledge, and selected carefully through a competitive process.
RTA is home to experts in market research and development economics research, whose specialties range in the fields from enterprises, impact evaluation to market growth, real estate, etc. We combine qualitative and quantitative methods in our research projects and analysis work. The use of quantitative research methods and empirical probability statistical software such as STATA and R, as well as the ability to access to the largest database sets in Vietnam makes our research products comprehensive, insightful, and thorough.

RTA gathers top experts in Vietnam in statistical software such as STATA, SPSS, R, and qualitative software such as STATA, SPSS, R and Nvivo. These experts have applied such software to large national data analysis. Examples of some of these data sets are:

RTA is proud to be the first in Vietnam to develop a comprehensive system for conducting and managing surveys based on mobile and cloud computing technology.

We have developed a system of survey tools that that make every step of our survey process transparent to our clients and allow survey managers to supervise their enumerators in any situations. We deeply believe that this is the only way to convince clients that the surveys are done in the most effective and transparent manner.
