Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
In August 2017, FAO was asked by the Commissioner for Refugees (Office of the Prime Minister of Uganda, OPM) to support the implementation of a socio-economic analysis within the refugees’ settlements and host communities, with the aim of providing a comprehensive assessment of the current state of the refugees’ food security, well-being and resilience. Although refugees in Uganda are given land and mobility rights, their food security remains low, with a high dependency on food aid. The assumption was that by better understanding refugees’ preferences and livelihoods strategies which determine their resilience, it would be possible to unlock the development potential of the land, increase productivity and help them achieve independence and self-reliance.
The Uganda 2017 Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis (RIMA) measures the food security and resilience of refugees and host communities in Northern Uganda. The survey was administered between November and December, 2017.

Sampling
The sample of the household survey is composed of 3 034 households, including both the refugee population as well as host communities. The focus is on the seven settlements where the South Sudanese refugees are living, as well as, nearby host communities. Following discussions with the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS), FAO Uganda and local partners, cluster sampling approach was adopted. The primary sampling units (PSU) are the single settlement or village. Households are the Second Sampling Unit (SSU); these are randomly selected from either a list of households provided by the local authority or by walking through the village or settlement. The sample is representative at district and settlement levels.
No weighting.

- Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]
Data processing
The data were collected through computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) with digital tablets. The use of electronic devices reduces the duration of interviews, limits errors during the interview and data entry phases, and enables the collection of geographic information system (GIS) information at the household level. The data were transmitted daily through Kobo Toolbox, a suite of software tools for data collection in challenging environments, allowing for the use of remote data control protocols.
