Scope of Work
The survey will be conducted across all 13 aldeias in Holarua, Same, Manufahi and with implementing partners working in Holarua. Households will be selected randomly from the target population of all households in Holarua, i.e. 1167 households[1]. A sample of women of reproductive age (15 to 49 years of age) and men (15 to 49 years of age) will be interviewed in selected households. All Hamutuk implementing partners and KONSSANTIL members will also be interviewed.
Survey design
It is anticipated that the baseline survey will use a random sampling approach (stratified or simple) of households from the 13 aldeias in Holarua. As much as possible, the survey will try to use the methodology used in relevant modules of the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS 2016). To achieve a 95% confidence level and 5% margin of error, 290 households is the proposed sample size covering all 13 aldeias.
Consistent with the DHS 2016 methodology, all selected households will be interviewed; eligible women age 15 to 49 residing in selected households will be interviewed; and eligible men will be interviewed in one-third of the households. It is anticipated that 290 households will be interviewed, as well as around 388 women and 130 men to be interviewed. The survey design may consider female headed households, households with children and households with people living with disability.
The final survey plan (including survey design, final sample size, sample frame, list of sample households, questionnaires, survey operation, and field operation plan) will be developed during Phase 1 of the survey.
Instrumentation (survey tools)
Drawing on draft questionnaires developed to date, the survey will collect qualitative and quantitative data using semi-structure questionnaires and for households undertaking a range of anthropometric measurements. Where possible, mobile technology (phone, tablet device) will be used to collect and record the data.
Duration and Timeline
The contractor is expected to propose the expected number of days required for the survey, beginning as soon as possible. It is anticipated that the field work is completed before the wet season commences in December 2017.
