KAP WASH 2017 in South Sudan's Ajuong Thok and Pamir Camps - South Sudan

Abstract
---------------------------

A Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) survey was conducted in Ajuong Thok and Pamir Refugee Camps in November 2017 to determine the current Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) conditions as well as hygiene attitude and practices within the households (HHs) surveyed. The assessment utilized a systematic random sampling method, and a total of 559 HHs (379 in Ajuong Thok and 180 in Pamir) were surveyed using mobile data collection (MDC) within a period of ten (10) days. Data was cleaned and analysed in Excel.

The findings showed that the overall average number of liters of water per person per day was 19.5 liters in both Ajuong Thok and Pamir Camps, which was slightly lower than the recommended Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) minimum standard of at least 20 liters of water available per person per day. The average HH size was six people. Refugees were aware of the key health and hygiene practices, possibly as a result of routine health and hygiene messages delivered to them by Samaritan´s Purse (SP) and other health partners. It is recommended that proper water use measures be put in place to reduce water waste and that sanitation and hygiene messaging continue to be provided to improve sanitation and hygiene, with access to, and use of, latrines by refugees.

Sampling procedure
---------------------------

Households were selected using systematic random sampling. Enumerators systematically walked through the camp, block by block, row by row, in such a way as to pass each HH, giving an equal chance of selection for the sample. Within the blocks, enumerators started at one corner, then systematically used the sampling interval to walk up and down along each of the rows throughout the block. This happened in each and every occupied block in Ajuong Thok and Pamir. In each block, the first HH sampled was determined by selecting a random number, between one and the sampling interval, out of a hat. Then, after the first HH, the sampling interval was followed. A female HH head was the first preferred respondent, as she was the one mainly involved in collecting water, performing general hygiene and making decisions on water use in the HH. If she was not available, another member of the HH (over 15 years of age) with knowledge of the HH practices was surveyed. If no one in the HH qualified to answer the survey, enumerators moved to the next HH, according to the sampling interval.

摘要
---------------------------
一项关于知识、态度和实践（KAP）的调查于2017年11月在阿琼托克和帕米尔难民营地进行，旨在确定受调查家庭（HH）当前的水、卫生和健康（WASH）状况，以及卫生态度和实践。评估采用系统随机抽样方法，共调查了559户家庭（阿琼托克379户，帕米尔180户），在十（10）天内通过移动数据收集（MDC）方式进行。数据经过清洗和分析后使用Excel进行处理。
调查结果显示，阿琼托克和帕米尔营地每人的日均用水量为19.5升，略低于联合国难民事务高级专员公署（UNHCR）推荐的最低标准，即每人每天至少应有20升水。平均家庭规模为六人。难民们了解关键的健康和卫生实践，这可能是由于萨玛利亚救援队（SP）和其他卫生合作伙伴向他们提供的常规健康和卫生信息所致。建议采取适当的水使用措施以减少水浪费，并继续提供卫生和健康信息，以改善难民对厕所的访问和使用。

抽样程序
---------------------------
家庭采用系统随机抽样方法选取。调查员以系统的方式遍历营地，逐块、逐行地走，以确保每个家庭都有同等的机会被选中。在各个区块内，调查员从一个角落开始，然后系统地使用抽样间隔，沿着区块内的每一行上下行走。这在阿琼托克和帕米尔的每个占用区块中都发生了。在每个区块中，首先被抽样的家庭是通过在帽子里随机选择一个数字（从一到抽样间隔）来确定的。然后，在第一个家庭之后，遵循抽样间隔。首选的第一位受访者是女性家庭户主，因为她主要参与收集水、执行一般卫生工作以及就家庭用水做出决策。如果她不可用，则调查下一个家庭中（年龄超过15岁）了解家庭实践的其他成员。如果家庭中没有人符合回答调查的条件，调查员将根据抽样间隔移动到下一个家庭。
