To address this, the World Bank conducted the second round of its welfare survey between October and November 2024, in parallel with the first round. This phase focused on four key areas: education, employment, health, and access to water and electricity. The survey is based on a probability sample of 1,340 adult respondents across 13 states, excluding the five Darfur states due to unstable network coverage during data collection.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2024-10-04","end":"2024-11-20","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Sudan","abbreviation":"SDN"}],"geog_coverage":"13 states, excluding the five Darfur states due to unstable network coverage during data collection.","analysis_unit":"-Household -Individual","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]"},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"StatSolutions","abbr":"StatSolutions","role":"","affiliation":""}],"sampling_procedure":"The survey is based on a probability sample of adult Sudanese (aged 18 and above) with mobile phones, spanning 13 states: Al Jazirah, Blue Nile, Gedaref, Kassala, Khartoum, North Kordofan, Northern, Red Sea, River Nile, Sennar, South Kordofan, West Kordofan, and White Nile. Respondents were selected through a one-stage random sampling process from a frame comprising 32,000 phone numbers from all over Sudan provided by the implementation partner. The implementation partner made up to seven call attempts per number when initial contact was unsuccessful\u2014whether due to unanswered calls, missed connections, or respondents being unavailable to complete the interview.","sampling_deviation":"The survey achieved sufficiently large sample sizes in 13 of Sudan\u2019s 18 states. However, due to unstable or limited network coverage, the sample size in the five Darfur states was too small to allow meaningful analysis.","coll_mode":["Computer Assisted Telephone Interview [cati]"],"research_instrument":"The second-round questionnaire incorporated standardized tools to ensure data quality and comparability. The module on access to water and electricity was drawn from standard household surveys fielded by the World Health Organization, while the module on employment was adapted from standard household labor modules. The survey instrument was initially developed in English, then translated and administered in Arabic. It covered four core sections: education, employment, health, and access to water and electricity in Sudan.","coll_situation":"1. Organization of the fieldwork: The survey was implemented using Kobo\u2019s CATI (Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing) platform by a dedicated team of trained StatSolutions enumerators operating from a centralized call center. The team comprised 17 enumerators and 2 supervisors, with each enumerator conducting individual phone interviews. 2. Data: Data from completed and partially completed interviews were uploaded daily to ensure timely monitoring and quality control. 3. Respondents: Each household interview was conducted with a single respondent (typically a knowledgeable adult or the head of households) who could consult other household members when needed to provide accurate responses.","act_min":"StatSolutions  organized supervision using interval recording and random call back of a sub-sample. There were 17 data collectors and 2 office supervisors.","weight":"To account for the survey design and correct for unequal selection probabilities, household and individual weights were constructed using a maximum entropy approach. The 2022 Labor Force Survey serves as the reference dataset, with its geographic distribution adjusted to reflect displacement patterns based on the International Organization for Migration\u2019s Displacement Tracking Matrix (October 2024 update)."}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"conf_dec":[{"txt":"The dataset has been anonymized and is available as a Public Use Dataset.","required":"","form_no":"","form_uri":""}],"contact":[{"name":"Franck M.
