Sampling

Sampling Procedure

The sample size was determined based on the Standardized Monitoring and Assessment of Relief and Transition (SMART) methodology and calculated using ENA for SMART software. Each camp was treated as a strata in the sample, and the sample frame included 1762 households in Goudebo (18.7% children under five) and 1505 households in Mentao (17.9% children under five).

In Goudebo, 226 households were included in the water and sanitation and mosquito net modules,199 women in the women's module, and 455 in the children's module.

In Mentao, 236 households were included in the water and sanitation and mosquito net modules,216 women in the women's module, and 441 in the children's module.
