Afghanistan: Humanitarian Situation Monitoring Round5 KII Dataset

Humanitarian Situation Monitoring aims to collect and then triangulate information regarding service provision, sectoral needs, and vulnerabilities in Afghan communities, in order to then support geographical and sectoral prioritizations within the humanitarian response in Afghanistan, particularly in light of the rapidly evolving context in Afghanistan. The key-informant-based HSM methodology uses settlements as the unit of analysis, using a structured survey tool to interview key informants about the situation in their settlement. A sampling frame covering all 401 districts in Afghanistan was used, covering a minimum of 10% of total settlements in each district. To achieve geographical spread across each district, at least three key informant interviews (KIIs), in a number proportionate to the number of settlements, were conducted in each Basic Service Unit (BSU). To determine a BSU (defined as an economic/geographic service unit which relies on the same services, i.e. healthcare clinics and schools, and common public spaces, i.e. markets and roads), participatory mapping of settlements and services available was conducted prior to data collection. Any analysis conducted using the data in this file will generate statistically non-representative results, as the key informant methodology is indicative.
