Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
Routine monitoring of the WASH services provided is paramount for quality assurance, ensuring the set standards are met within stipulated timelines, challenges are identified in time and solutions are sought. UNHCR (Cox’s Bazar Field Office) conducted the third round of its WASH Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) survey from 15th to 23rd November 2023 in UNHCR’s area of operation in Kutupalong and Teknaf. Five WASH partners implemented the survey.
The objectives of the study were:
1. To monitor and evaluate impacts of UNHCR WASH interventions in camps;
2. To identify and measure weaknesses and gaps in UNHCR WASH interventions in 2023;
3. To provide guidance for UNHCR WASH future interventions and future sustainable WASH programming for Rohingya refugees;
4. Be able to compare UNHCR Bangladesh WASH interventions to UNHCR Global KAP standards.Sample survey data [ssd]
