We intend to do research in East Africa to determine the impact of new tools to support farmers of a certain size, using for example mobile telephones or internet. we intend to use propensity score matching, a statistical matching technique (Wikipedia) that attempts to estimate the effect of an intervention by accounting for the covariates that predict receiving the treatment. PSM attempts to reduce the bias due to confounding variables that could be found in an estimate of the treatment effect obtained from simply comparing outcomes among units that received the treatment versus those that did not.
Dear Pieter,
I would suggest you the course below. I believe it could prepare you and your team to do good questionnaires:

Dear Pieter,
I am asking myself if you know the survey online services... like
https://pt.surveymonkey.com/
www.survio.com
and others
Because, almost all of them have so many options of questionnaires ready to be used for many different areas. I believe that it can help you.
Best regards.
A. Hess
I certainly would go for a questionnaire that is being performed by a person visiting the site and speaking with interviewees and observing.
Reason: you want to know the impact of mobile phone / internet applications. The results will be biased when you would operate via telephone and internet only.
I would include open questions, as conditions and effects can be strongly influenced by regional culture and attitudes.
