A community based cross sectional quantitative survey was conducted among households of Kule refugee camp from 11-15 December 2017, a total of 384 households were interviewed.
Data was collected by using UNHCR standard questionnaire. The questionnaire contains specific questions that provide answers to measurable indicators under current grants for core performance indicators of the International Rescue Committee (IRC).
Regarding the latrine coverage and utilization, it shows improvement but still some parts of people use open defecation, in particular children. Knowledge of the community towards hand washing is good but during observation of availability of hand washing facilities most households had no specific place for hand washing.

Sampling
A community based cross sectional quantitative survey was conducted among households of Tierkidi, Pugnido, Pugnido II, and Kule refugee camps from 11-15 December 2017. Data was collected by using UNHCR standardized questionnaire. The questionnaire contains specific questions that provide answers to measurable indicators under current grants for core IRC performance indicators.
A systematic random sampling method at the camp level was employed.
The basic sampling unit was households and respondents were mainly primary household caregivers. A household in this survey is defined as a group of people who are sharing the same shelter, cooking area or cooking pot. A primary caregiver in this survey is defined as a person who handles the daily chores of the household (preparation of meals, feeding and taking care of children, collection of water, household hygiene etc.).
The data showing the total number of households existing in the camp is obtained from UNHCR and all households in the camp were considered as a sampling frame.
The sampling frame was based on UNHCR population data which is as per Dec. 2017 update. The sample size was calculated assuming 50% prevalence of general WASH indicators with a precision of +/- 5%, 95 confidence limit for a total of 384 households for each camp.
Sample weights for the household data were computed as the inverse of the probability of selection of the household, computed for each camp.
Survey instrument
The survey questionnaire used to collect the data consists of the following sections: general information and demographics, water collection and storage, drinking water hygiene, hygiene, sanitation, messaging, distribution, diarrhoea prevalence and health seeking behaviour.
