Survey

Generally speaking surveys are questions, where the answer of questions will feed the variables that make up an indicator. In terms of the Survey application in KDW the survey metadata is being entered as follows:

  • Surveys:

  • Localities can be entered to gather indicators within a group but also within localities. Therefore we will be able to measure indicators to know about trends according to zones. Note ‘localities’ in Surveys is connected to the Spatial application. Therefore, before adding a locality here, the HO must ensure the relevant metadata has been entered under the Spatial application first.

Window: Add locality

  • Geographic unit: These are KDW standard geographic areas occupied by a certain population group. The Geographic unit makes the first part (i.e. before the semicolon) of the locality name. From KDW Standard Geographic unit list, the Home Office will select one

  • Population group: Is a group of people living in a geographic unit, it can be a community, ethnic group, women or however you may want to define it. The population group makes the second part ( i.e. after the semicolon) of the locality name. i.e. Oromo Ethnic group

  • Dominant livelihood zone: The main activity for which a given population group is involved. There is a dropdown list from where to select one.
