Data collection for the first wave ran from the 13th of April 2025 until the 27th of May 2025. The achieved sample for wave 1 was 3,110 households, with the desired sample being met in all regions except Middle Juba. The second wave then attempted to re-contact these 3,110 households, with data collection starting on the 12th of July 2025 and running until the 13th of August 2025. Of the wave 1 sample, 60 percent were successfully contacted and participated in wave 2. Once the wave 1 sample had been exhausted, new phone numbers were targeted until the regional quotas were achieved.   The L2S collected a household roster, exposure to climatic shocks, educational aspirations, perceptions on governance and tax, overall well-being, and  questions on social assistance in response to the aid cuts.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2025-04-13","end":"2025-05-27","cycle":"Wave 1"},{"start":"2025-07-12","end":"2025-08-13","cycle":"Wave 2"}],"nation":[{"name":"Federal Republic of Somalia","abbreviation":"SOM"}],"geog_coverage":"National and of the 18 pre-war regions.","analysis_unit":"Households and individuals","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]"},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"GeoPoll","abbr":"","role":"","affiliation":""}],"sampling_procedure":"Data collection for Wave 1 was conducted using Random Digit Dialing (RDD), where mobile numbers were randomly generated using prefixes assigned by Somalia\u2019s national telecommunications agency. GeoPoll\u2019s Random Digit Dialing process involved 2 key steps: i) Mobile number generation; and ii) Mobile number validation. Respondents aged below 18 years were screened out of the survey. The 3,000 household sample was distributed across the regions based on the population shares from the IPC population estimates from January to March 2025.\n\nData collection for Wave 2 was conducted using panel (targeting repeat respondents that participated in Wave 1) and new respondents were contacted using RDD sample due to attrition cases in Wave 1 thus ensuring the full sample target was achieved. Panel respondents were prioritized at the beginning of the survey by ensuring that all numbers were contacted at least five times before the number was removed from the sample.","coll_mode":["Computer Assisted Telephone Interview [cati]"],"weight":"To ensure that estimates derived from the survey data are representative of the target population, post-stratification weighting were applied. This process adjusts the contribution of each responding unit to align the marginal and joint distributions of key stratifying variables in the sample with those from the national census. The weighting corrects for sampling disproportionalities and nonresponse bias within defined subpopulations.\nTwo separate sets of weights were computed:\n\u2022 Household-level weight, to be applied in analyses where the unit of inference is the household\n\u2022  Individual-level weight, to be used when analyzing characteristics of individuals within households\nPost-stratification will be based on the following categorical variables, each of which was available in both the survey and census datasets:\n\ni. Region\nii. Urban\u2013Rural Residence\niii. Age Group\nThese variables form a post-stratification grid across which both sample and population distributions were matched."},"analysis_info":{"response_rate":"Wave 1 completion rate (Completes\/Call Attempts) stood at 3 percent."}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"conf_dec":[{"txt":"Before being granted access to the dataset, all users have to formally agree: 1.
