Core Welfare Indicators Questionnaire [hh/cwiq]
The ‘Core Welfare Indicator Questionnaire’ survey is a household survey instrument developed by the World Bank in close collaboration with UNDP, UNICEF and the ILO. It measures changes in key social indicators of different population groups, specifically, indicators of access, utilization and satisfaction with core social and economic services. The CWIQ is very effective for improving project and sector program design, and for targeting essential services towards the poor and most disadvantaged communities. Over time, the CWIQ becomes a monitoring tool for assessing implementation effectiveness and the impact of programs/projects on living conditions (CWIQ handbook p. 109). This survey has been mainly conducted in African countries, including Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and Tanzania, but has since traversed the Atlantic to firstly St. Lucia, where a successful pilot was run in October 2004, and now Grenada.
The CWIQ was conducted in Grenada to assess the change in social conditions following the devastating impact of Hurricane Ivan, and provide the necessary data to inform national reconstruction efforts. The survey was modified and a “Hurricane Ivan Module” included in the main questionnaire frame to capture the effects of the hurricane on the lives and livelihoods of different population groups , and in particular, the impact on women. The Grenada survey would be the first to provide up-to-date information on post-Ivan conditions, and to aggregate the data into a viable set, ready for policy-makers to tackle accordingly.
The Grenada CWIQ survey is the second to be undertaken in the region. In addition to meeting the usual CWIQ goals, the Grenada CWIQ had the additional task of measuring the impact of Hurricane Ivan on the livelihoods of different elements of the population. The CWIQ is required to produce information leading to:
- Clearer details and statistics on the impacts on women by the specific analysis of the data for gender.
- Details on children and their living conditions; and
- Detailed analysis of the social vulnerability implications of the disaster.
The survey was implemented over a four-week period in May and June 2005. Within a fortnight of the completion fieldwork in, a technical working group was established and met to review the initial outputs and to establish the outline for this, the first report. The intention of this report is to disseminate as rapidly as possible the basic data and results emanating from the survey. It is by no means exhaustive but is intended to "whet the appetite". The first set of summary tables to be generated out of the survey data are presented in their entirety, and these are accompanied by some preliminary descriptive analysis to show the potential to using these data for monitoring the delivery of government programs and assessing the impact. The use of leading indicators of access use and satisfaction to evaluate different sectoral programmes, is stressed. It is intended that this report should be the first of a series of analytical reports to be produced using the CWIQ survey data. In parallel with the preparation of this report, the CD-ROM is also being prepared containing all the data and meta data relevant to the survey. This will be invaluable for carrying out more in-depth analysis of the data.

Sampling
The intention was to have a sample that was capable of delivering results at the parish level. As it turned out 2 of the parishes, St John's and St Mark's turned out to have sample sizes that were too small and therefore had to be merged together. Similarly it was hoped that the sample would make it possible to present results disaggregated by the urban and rural poor and non-poor household groups. Unfortunately the urban poor stratum proved to be too small for accurate results to be presented at that level.
The survey used a two-stage stratified random sample with a probability proportional to Enumeration District (ED) size. The following parameters were used for determining the sample size and design
Days needed to list 1 ED 2
Number of Enumerators 21
Number of households to be sampled per ED 12
Interviews per day 5
Days for enumeration 10
In order to spread the sample more evenly across parishes, the EDs were stratified by parish and the sampling ratio was adjusted accordingly.
The second stage of sampling was out in the field by the supervisors. Because of the fact that household lists, which had been compiled during the population census, were severely out of date, and because of the extensive population movements that occured as a result of hurricane Ivan a relisting of the households in the sampled clusters had to be undertaken before the final sample can be drawn. All sampled EDs were relisted and a random sample of 12 households was systematically selected in each cluster with equal probability.
Survey instrument
The generic CWIQ questionnaire to provided the basis for the Grenada survey: prior to the start of the survey, the main survey stakeholders were requested to indicate their data needs and any amendments or in additions and that they would like to see on the survey questionnaire. Once these were received, they were sorted and wherever possible included in the revised questionnaire. The final questionnaire was five pages long (10 sides) and included the 8 standard core sections ( household members, education, health, employment, household assets, amenities, and children under 5) plus an extra ‘Hurricane Ivan’ module.

Once the final questionnaire was drafted, everyone who was to be involved in the implementation of the CWIQ survey received a four day training course. The course covered: introduction to the CWIQ; review of the CWIQ questionnaire; and practice interviews; theory and practice of listing; and handwriting and shading tests. By the end of the training all statistics staff were fully briefed on what was required of them for the next three weeks.
The original intention was for each enumerate to be assigned individual EDs that they would cover over the period of fieldwork. During the course of training it was decided that a more efficient methodology would be for the enumerators to work in teams of two or three (plus 1 supervisor). This turned out to be more efficient and probably more conducive to the collection of high-quality data. Data collection was originally planned to be completed within a three week period. In the event, because of the need to relist the households in each of the sampled EDs, the fieldwork phase lasted for an additional two weeks. During this period the supervision of the field staff was intense thereby ensuring that only the highest quality data was collected.
