ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION
Pro-Poor Access to Water and Sanitation – Hargeisa Case Study
This study will be driven by the following research questions:
1. Who are the poorest people/households in Hargeisa? How do we define them and where do we find them?
2. What access and service levels do the poor have to water and sanitation?
3. How do the poorest suffer disproportionately from their condition of access to W&S in terms of costs and health?
4. What opportunities exist to improve conditions of the poorest?
The case study will require a mixed methods approach.
The quantitative aspects include analysis of two data sets: WB poverty study and MICS as well as the design and implementation of a structured household sample survey.
The qualitative aspects will include focus group discussions – or similar methods – on the constraints to and opportunities for improving service delivery to the poor.
