Sampling

Sampling Procedure
1000 individuals (18 years and above) with active phone numbers were randomly selected from UNHCR database for each of the four camp sites - Kakuma, Kalobeyei, Dadaab and Urban. For Shona, we took the sample from the Socioeconomic Assessment survey. Due to the smaller sample size of the Shona population (782), we use everybody in the sample. Those selected individuals from each site were sent an SMS, stating that they have been randomly selected to participate in a socio-economic impact of COVID-19 survey. Out of the individuals who were delivered the SMS, 250 individuals were selected from each site for the survey giving a sum of 3,529 individuals.
Response Rate
The consent rate from all the respondents (respondents interviewed in the 1st wave + respondents that were not reached in the 1st wave) was 56%. The consent rate from 1st wave respondents was 88%.
