Sampling and data collection methods:
In this context, the consultant has the right to involve various stakeholders to develop detailed key questions for the survey. However, the key responsibility for determining questions guiding this lies with IMC WASH and GBV staff/M&E and a number of questions are proposed in this TOR. Hopefully there will be further opportunities for input from key informants at the camp/host community level into the questions. The consultant should treat this as a single formative survey, and work with project staff to refine a set of survey questions that will guide the survey.
The consultant will work with team members of this project to derive the best possible accuracy and relevance of the questions used in the data collection tools.
The data collection methods that are suitable for this survey include: LQAS, key informant interviews, focus group discussions, onsite visual inspection, storytelling (e.g., by children), etc.
The involvement of the community members in proposed intervention communities at all stages of this assessment is preferred. Thereafter preparation of draft and final reports.
