| Description |
The survey questionnaire has been developed taking the work of the Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) as our starting point (see JMP's "Guide for Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene Related Survey Questions" and "Questions for Household Survey Module - Water Supply, Sanitation and Hand Washing", June 2004. . Hence the questions on water and sanitation in the JMP-questionnaire form part of survey instrument presented in this report. However, whereas the JMP approach aims at few comparable indicators which can be measured as part of a general national household survey, the aim of the methodology described here is to obtain more detailed information on water, sanitation and hygiene in a geographically limited project area.
Lessons learnt from more detailed and specific questionnaires have been taken into consideration, in particular those related to hygiene behaviour. The following documents were
the major sources of inspiration:
• The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine's WASH survey method developed under the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene campaign of the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC), in particular Kristof Bostoen's water, sanitation and hygiene study in LAO PDR, funded by the World Bank.
• The Environmental Health Project's (USAID) report on Assessing Hygiene Improvement - Guidelines for Household and Community Levels.
• Boot, M.T. & Sandy Cairncross: Actions Speak - The study of hygiene behaviour in water and sanitation projects. |
