    Sampling Procedure

    The sample size was determined based on the Standardized Monitoring and Assessment of Relief and Transition (SMART) methodology and calculated using ENA for SMART software. The sample frame included 3031 households (14.0% children under five) in Goudebou and 3382 households (18.3% children under five) in Mentao. Each camp was treated as a strata in the sample.

    In Goudebou, 182 households were included in the household-level modules, 115 women in the women's module, 190 children under five in the children's modules, and 97 children 0-23 months in the infants module.
    In Mentao, 231 households were included in the household-level modules, 201 women in the women's module, 208 children under five in the children's modules, and 86 children 0-23 months in the infants module.
