ECA will also be responsible for providing the suite of survey questions within Qualtrics to ease the burden of setup for the implementing partners. The implementing partners will be responsible for selecting the required survey questions, inserting any custom survey questions they would like to ask, creating the mailing list of respondents, and launching the survey.
