Abstract
The World Bank conducted a needs and perceptions online survey targeting the most affected areas. The survey, deployed from August 13 to 20, captured thousands of citizens’ perspectives about the explosion’s impact, their resulting needs, and their experiences with and expectations for assistance and reconstruction. The survey consisted of 29 questions, including questions to identify respondent demographics (age, gender, education, location, and level of income); measuring how the August 4 explosions impacted respondents and their families; and assessing their needs, perceptions towards the fairness of aid delivery, and trust in institutional actors that may be involved in reconstruction efforts.

It relies on a two-step approach including computation of a design weight and a calibration weight.
