THE CONSULTANCY
The purpose of the consultancy is two-fold:
The consultancy will take place between October and November 2019 and will be divided into two parts, as set out below. The work will take place remotely, except where a locally based consultant is appointed, in which case a short field trip can be arranged.
Part 1
Part 2
All reasonable steps will be taken to provide safety and security for the consultant; both Medair and consultant accept the inherent risks in working in humanitarian contexts. Medair will not be required to do more than what is reasonable and possible in the circumstances whilst providing a safe and appropriate work environment.
INFORMATION ON THE 2019 SURVEY
SURVEY PURPOSE
The Knowledge, Practice and Coverage (KPC) household survey will measure standardized health and nutrition indicators for Syrian refugees and vulnerable Lebanese, in the Medair-supported SDC project areas. The purpose of the survey is to provide robust data that will inform Medair, MOSA, Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) and other NGO programming and provide a strong evidence base to current and potential donors. The analysis will serve to compare key indicators across key target groups, as well as enable a comparison with the 2016,2017 and 2018 KPC surveys.
SURVEY METHDOLOGY
The survey to be conducted will use a cluster design to enable the calculation of 95% confidence interval point estimates with acceptable degrees of precision. The sampling frames will be distinct for both Syrian refugees (made up of those living in informal settlements) and vulnerable Lebanese, such that two cluster surveys will be conducted.
OBJECTIVES OF SURVEY
The objective of the survey is to collection data on key health and nutrition related indicators at the household level, including the following thematic areas:
