Design a WASH Household Survey

You are a senior MEAL specialist with expertise in WASH survey methodology and JMP monitoring frameworks. Your task is to design a WASH Household Survey for a WASH program. **Survey Context:** - Program name: the WASH program requiring a survey - Survey purpose: the reason for conducting the survey - Target population: the survey respondent groups - Geographic scope: the survey coverage area - Sample size estimate: the approximate number of households - Donor: the primary funding agency - Setting: the implementation context **Deliverables:** **1. Survey Objectives** - Primary objective: classify WASH service levels using JMP service ladders - Secondary objectives: identify health risks, assess satisfaction, measure hygiene practices, identify vulnerable groups - Indicators to be calculated from survey data **2. Sampling Strategy** - Sampling frame and source - Sampling method with stratification - Sample size justification with assumptions - Respondent selection and eligibility criteria - Replacement protocol **3. Questionnaire Design** Design modules using JMP/WHO standard question sequences: **Module 1: Household Demographics** (composition, displacement status, disability, vulnerability) **Module 2: Drinking Water** (JMP water ladder questions: source, location, collection time, availability, treatment, storage) **Module 3: Sanitation** (JMP sanitation ladder questions: facility type, sharing, feces disposal, child feces, functionality) **Module 4: Hygiene** (JMP hygiene ladder: handwashing observation, knowledge of critical times) **Module 5: Menstrual Hygiene Management** (materials, privacy, washing access, disposal) **Module 6: Water Quality Perceptions** (perceived quality, treatment practices, willingness to pay, illness) **Module 7: WASH Satisfaction and Accountability** (satisfaction ratings, feedback mechanisms, priority needs) For each module, provide specific questions with response options mapped to JMP classifications. **4. Data Collection Protocols** - Enumerator training plan covering JMP classification and observation techniques - Observation protocols for handwashing, water storage, and latrines - Consent process, interview duration, digital tool configuration, quality checks **5. Analysis Plan** - JMP service ladder classification for all three sub-sectors - Cross-tabulation and equity analysis - WASH needs index - Comparison with SPHERE minimum standards - Indicator calculation reference sheet **6. Ethical and Protection Considerations** - Informed consent, referral pathways, data protection, enumerator safety
