In late December 2017, the northeaster Ituri province of DRC experienced inter-ethnic violence which resulted in displacement of tens of thousands of civilians crossing the border to Uganda. Close to 60,000 refugees arrived in the Kyangwali settlement in a few months' time, creating a humanitarian emergency which was aggravated by the outbreak of cholera. This called for a number of WASH agencies to begin operating in the settlement in response to the emergency with the objective to improve access to potable water supply and improved hygiene and sanitation facilities. The WASH forum decided to conduct a KAP survey to gauge the level of WASH services against acceptable standards and assess existing gaps to facilitate evidence-based planning of future programs. The survey includes 384 refugee households in the Kyangwali refugee settlement.
