Abstract
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.

Data Collection Notes
In preparation for roll-out of WASH KAP mobile data collection method, the country WASH unit organized a training attended by WASH experts from UNHCR and partners. The training was facilitated by experts from CartOng. The training covered the UNHCR standards, WASH KAP survey questionnaire and how to adopt it to local context, the Kobo survey management platform and how to create and manage surveys.
For this survey, 15 refugee enumerators and 5 supervisors were selected from the community on the basis of their language and experience on mobile data collection. Enumerators were trained on the overall survey questionnaire, rationale of each question, interview techniques, field procedures, translation to local languages, and other ethical related considerations.
The survey team was composed of a survey coordinator, five survey managers and 15 enumerators. The survey coordinator managed the sampling process and prepared sample units for each team on daily basis. He also uploaded the questionnaire to each tablet and downloaded the completed data on daily basis to the database and prepared the tables for next day data collection. The supervisors also supported their respective team to identify the households to be interviewed and provided replacement for missing or no-response households. They also conducted monitoring of the interview process. At the end of each day, the supervisors conducted a quality check of the data before the submission to the database.
