Households
The total population spans all beneficiaries of Cash-Based Interventions.
Sample survey data [ssd]
UNHCR
The survey's objective was to deliver representative data of all refugee households that were beneficiaries of cash-based interventions. The total number of beneficiaries of the Cash-Based Interventions is 70,000 (sampling frame). For this survey, a simple random sample design was applied. The total sample size was 320 refugee households, but only 180 respondents were reached and gave their consent to participate in the survey.
Computer Assisted Telephone Interview [cati]
Interviews were conducted with a sample of beneficiaries over the phone and verification of the beneficiaries through the name and ID number was mandatory. The data collector conducted structured household level interviews with the sampled beneficiaries, through call agents / enumerators. Answers were recorded on the paper based questionnaire and afterwards uploaded on UNHCR’s Kobo server. Several follow-up calls were conducted to reduce the non-response rate as close as possible to zero and replacement numbers were sampled when the person did not answer. Call agents were all Afghan Nationals (female and male), who speak Dari and Pashto to be able to communicate with respondents.
Sample weights were calculated for each household as the total number of beneficiaries divided by the total sample size.
