Series Information
This survey is part of the Service Delivery Indicators (SDI) project, an initiative of the World Bank, the African Economic Research Consortium, and the African Development Bank. Started in 2012, SDI tracks performance and quality of service delivery in primary schools and frontline health facilities across Africa. Kenya was the first SDI country, following the pilot surveys in Tanzania and Senegal. In 2012-2013, surveys were conducted in Mozambique, Nigeria, Togo and Uganda; in 2014-2016, in Madagascar, Tanzania and Niger. The surveys are repeated every two years.

SDI initiative is a unique 10-year program and the World Bank is the implementing partner for the first five years.

The data distributed here has been harmonized to a common standard to facilitate comparisons across countries and time. The data also has been anonymized to preserve confidentiality of respondents. The harmonization and anonymization work is done by the World Bank's SDI team.

SDI surveys are documented in the Microdata Library as Service Delivery Indicators Health Surveys and Service Delivery Indicators Education Surveys.
Abstract
The SDI provides a set of metrics to benchmark the performance of schools and health facilities in Africa. The Indicators can be used to track progress within and across countries over time, and aim to enhance active monitoring of service delivery to increase public accountability and good governance. Ultimately, the goal of this effort is to help policymakers, citizens, service providers, donors, and other stakeholders enhance the quality of services and improve development outcomes. The perspective adopted by the Indicators is that of citizens accessing a service. The Indicators assemble objective and quantitative information from a survey of frontline service delivery units, using modules from the Public Expenditure Tracking Survey (PETS), Quantitative Service Delivery Survey (QSDS), and Staff Absence Survey (SAS). The SDI initiative is a partnership of the World Bank, the African Economic Research Consortium (AERC), and the African Development Bank.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure
The survey used a multi-stage, cluster sampling strategy which allowed for disaggregation by geographic location (rural and urban); by provider type (public and private non-profit) and facility type (dispensaries/health posts, health centers and first level hospitals).

Sampling strategy
In Kenya, 15 of the 47 counties were chosen. Five counties were pre-selected, Nairobi and Mombasa, as the two most populous cities, and the capital (in the case of Nairobi), along with three others (Nyandarua, Nyamira, and Siaya) selected because of their baseline poverty rates and service delivery outcomes. The remaining ten counties were selected by stratifying the counties by above or below median urbanization; above- or below-median poverty and randomly selecting the counties with probability in proportion to their population size.

Sampling frame
Four data sources were used in developing the sampling frame: (i) Public facilities, Ministries of Health; (ii) Non-public facilities; (iii) Location-specific data on the fraction of the local population living in poverty was obtained from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics; and (iv) The fraction living in urban areas, was obtained from the national statistical authority.

Stratification
In general, the facilities list was disaggregated by sub-national strata (regions, provinces or districts) and urban/rural location.

Questionnaires

Questionnaires
Four modules were used, with multiple sections. All but module 4 (ressources) are in the archive.

Module 1 covers: (Section A) metadata; (B) general information; (C) Infrastructure; (D) Equipment, materials, and supplies; and (E) Drugs and consumables.

Module 2 covers: (Section A) basic demographic information on the facility; and (B) additional demographic information on a subset of staff.

Module 3 covers knowledge, as measured through seven patient case simulations.

Module 4 (not in the archive) covers resources and governance.

Data Processing

Data Editing
Data entry and editing was done using CSPro.
Other Processing
Data quality control were done in Stata and the data were harmonized to a reference questionnaire, which is the Tanzania 2014 survey.
