Uganda is hosting over 1 million refugees with about 114,716 (OPM Nov 2019) of them settled in Kyangwali refugee settlement. This rapid influx of refugees has put pressure on basic social services including education, food, shelter and WASH infrastructure. In order to efficiently and effectively improve WASH service delivery in the settlement, there is need for accurate and reliable information on which to base programmatic decisions.
Kyangwali settlement has had a number of interventions by different partners, and in as much as there were access indicators obtained regularly by the partners that provide extremely useful average figures at settlement level, there has been a gap in the in-depth understanding of the situation at household level and to account for disparities within the settlement so as to measure the impact of the interventions.
The survey mainly utilized 2 methods: Household questionnaire survey and documentary review. The survey covered all the five zones of the settlement, with samples drawn from all the villages in the different zones. Sample sizes for each zone were calculated using the UNHCR sample size determination tool. A sample of 403 (only refugees) was interviewed using household questionnaire survey administered through Kobo collect and Open Data Kit (ODK) tool. Reviewed documents included: partners periodic updates, minutes of WASH meetings.
