Phase 2 of the assessment examines specific trades and their supply chains, defined in terms of their foreign and domestic origins/destinations and modes of international shipments (table G.1). Table G.2 provides a list of additional questions that might be used to select the trades and supply chains for phase 2 assessment. Interview Guide Checklists
The Interview Guide in this toolkit includes checklists to be used to assist interviewers. Initially interviewers should use these checklists to structure an interview, but as the interviewers becomes familiar with the content, the checklists should be used to make sure that all of the relevant topics have been covered. An outline of each checklist is presented here, with the first level presenting the topic, and the second presenting details about the topic. The second level details are intended to help the interviewer formulate follow up questions if the initial response is incomplete or explain the topic in greater depth if the respondent needs more detail in order to provide an answer. ɶ Type of logistics and volume of activity This section covers the level of trade and volume of logistics services, providing a basis for assessing the scope and scale of the respondent’s activities and for evaluating the importance of the respondent’s observations. It establishes a context to weigh the importance of the recommendations presented by the assessment team later during the review.
