    Series Information

    UNHCR uses a comprehensive WASH monitoring framework to track the WASH services provided to refugees. The WASH monitoring system is also a mechanism for UNHCR to hold itself accountable to all persons of concern, governments and donors.
    Abstract

    UNHCR (Cox’s Bazar Field Office) conducted the second round of its WASH Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) survey from 24th November to 19th December 2019 in UNHCR’s area of operation in Kutupalong and Teknaf. Five WASH partners implemented the survey: NGO Forum, BRAC, OXFAM, Solidarité International and ACF. Preparation began in early November, as UNHCR discussed methodologies with participating agencies.

    Several meetings focussed on issues such as; staffing for the data collection and financial issues such as ‘per diem’ allowances. Several partner enumerators and their team leaders had no previous experience in KAP surveys, therefore, training modules were developed and implemented by UNHCR WASH staff. The objective of the survey was to better plan and guide future UNHCR WASH interventions implemented through NGO partners.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    The number of interviews required to be statistically rigorous has initially been calculated to be 1,316. This was calculated by estimating a 5% non-response rate to reach a 95% confidence level. Finally, the distribution of households to be interviewed reached the number of 1,649, giving a 35% assurance of raching the target.
    Weighting

    Weights were added ex post. Sample weights for the household data were computed dividing the population by the sample size

    Survey instrument

    Questionnaires

    The questionnaire was reviewed with all NGO partners. In comparison to
    the 2018 survey, a written translation for each question, in Bangla, was
    added. Most questions were identical in both surveys; however, some
    were reformulated to become clearer and more precise. This made
    comparison with previous survey more challenging. The questionnaire
    had 9 sections, alphabetically ordered from A until I (see attached Annex).

    Sections
    0. Introduction
    A. GENERAL INFORMATION AND DEMOGRAPHICSB. WATER COLLECTION AND STORAGEC. DRINKING WATER HYGIENE
    D. HYGIENE
    E. SANITATION
    F. MESSAGING
    G. WASH NFI Distribution
    H. DIARRHEA PREVALENCE, KNOWLEDGE AND HEALTH SEEKING BEHAVIOR
