ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of this assessment exercise is to identify, map and analyze the overall humanitarian needs in Kenya’s refugee camps. Secondly, it is intended to provide an analytical insight into where different needs lie and to what extent, so that relevant program areas of CARE Kenya can prioritize, plan and respond.
The specific objectives are:
METHODOLOGY AND SAMPLING
Assessment methodology will be mainly household quantitative surveys and to a lesser extent Key Informant Interviews and Focus Group Discussions in camps targeted for the exercises. The formula to calculate sample size per individual target camp is 95% Confidence level, 10% margin of error. The sampling frame will be made up of ‘People affected by displacement’ i.e. IDPs, Host Communities, Refugees, Asylum Seekers and Returnees. The sampling formula will be applied exclusively to each camp and not to the aggregate population of the target camps.
ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS
All questionnaires and interviews will open with a statement aimed at obtaining the consent of the interviewee(s). Potential respondents will be briefed about the purpose of the survey, the confidentiality and anonymity and that it is 100% voluntary. The interviewer will then expressly seek their consent to participate in the survey. Respondents who decline to participate will respectfully be left out.
