  • The second sampling was a random walk with technique of selecting HHs from different corners of the village with am aim to get random information from the given village.

Objectives of the Survey

To asses the conditions of entire communities (sub-county: payams), to improve targeting and tailoring and to orient our response toward entire communities (not just direct beneficiaries)

  • to gain a holistic, multi-sectoral understanding of recent developments (last 2 years) in the following fields (need to cover them all in one survey to cross answers to get solid findings and identify linkages):

    • Human development – Livelihood, Resilience, Food Security, Health, Hygiene, Education, Protection and Gender
    • Economy – Agriculture, Livestock Farming, Markets, Assets
    • Peace and Governance – Natural Resources, Safety, Migration, Community Participation & Local Governance and Humanitarian Aid
  • to encourage a more nexus/resilience-oriented mindset: focusing not only on needs but also on opportunities to strengthen (positive copying strategies, community self-reliance, and advanced market participants to use as pulling factors)

  • to nourish genuine accountability: surveys are validated trough one-day meetings with county and payam representatives as a means to promote an evidence-based dialogue with the community
