Executive Summary
In January 2012, the Supporting IDPs and Host Communities in Hajjah Governorate in WASH
and Sustainable Livelihoods project conducted the project baseline survey. The survey was
conducted in Bakeel Al-Meer and Mustaba Districts of Hajjah Governorate, Yemen and targeted
IDPs and host communities. The baseline survey was designed to identify and evaluate the
current situation in the project area of intervention. Both Household Field Survey (HH) and the
focus group discussion (FGD) were applying for quantitative and qualitative data collection. A
total of 612 households were surveyed with 6 FGD and data collected on 3683 persons living in 8
villages of the two Districts, including 1458 persons IDPs (40% of the total population) and 2225
persons host community (60% of the total population), the number of children under 5 years are
962 of them 380 are IDPs and 582 are host populations.
Through examining the data of the Household Survey, the consultant found that the main water
sources in villages are wells and the wadi base flow are consider the second water source, the
average daily water consumption per person per day is about 16 liter/day, the water consumption
is almost near to sphere minimum standards.
The data collected from the HH survey show that about 25% of the children suffer from diarrhoea
more than once per month and about 21% more than twice per month; the adults also suffer from
diarrhoea. Lack of awareness about hygiene and lack of safe water contribute to the spread of
disease among IDPs and host communities in the area. Although of 95% the target population
believes that hands washing before eat is important for health reason but they demonstrate poor
hand-washing practices (41% not using soap). What make the situation worse, was the existing
of only 38 toilets serve 612 houses in the surveyed villages (about 6.2%), this results show that
there is an extremely limited toilet and bathing options are available, particularly for women.
Labor is main sources of annual household income (30.9%) and livestock husbandry is second
main sources (16.2%). During this baseline survey the consultant found that about 40.2% of total
HH owning goats, 56.4% of total HH owning sheep and 23.2% owning poultry, while 13.1%
owning goats, sheep and poultry together.
Although the goats are best adapted to the conditions in the targeted areas and produce benefits
within four to six months, the supported livestock preferred by HH were Goats and Sheep (27%
Goats, 28% Sheep and 36% Chicken and Goats/Sheep).

1. Introduction
The implementation of the baseline survey for household and focus group discussion is to gather
preliminary information required from the target communities (IDPs and host community) in the
two districts: Bakeel Al-Meer and Mustaba in Hajjah governorate, to identify the current situation
of water, sanitation, hygiene, livestock and agriculture, the data collected will be used to measure
the impact after project implementation. Attention was given to children under five years who are
more vulnerable to diseases and diarrhoea caused by drinking contaminated and unclean water.
1.1. Survey Area and Population
Table 3.1 gives the surveyed 2012 population of eight villages surveyed in the two districts:
Bakeel Al-Meer, and Mustaba, the villages surveyed are Al-Mabeet, Al-Khark and Al-Mafger
villages at Mustaba district and Taashur, Al-Mahnab, Om -AL-Turab, Shat Al-Madfaa and Al-
Gemah villages at Bakeel Al-Meer district, the HH survey was done for both IDPs and host
communities. The estimated 2012 population of the two districts is shown in table 3.1.
1.2. Survey Purpose
The purpose of currying out this baseline survey is to evaluate the current situation in the project
area. The key purpose of this consulting assignment is to provide to CARE the following:
1. Oversee the production of a Baseline Assessment Report that will incorporate both
qualitative and quantitative tools and which will contribute to the planning of health and
hygiene messages in subsequent activities of the project.
2. Contribute to the finalization of the results framework and form a key aspect to be
integrated into the Inception Report.
3. These results will be used to measure change/impact in relation to project indicators for
the final evaluation required by OFDA in May 2012
2. Methodology
The baseline survey was designed to identify and evaluate the current situation in the project
area of intervention. Both Household Field Survey (HH) and the focus group discussion (FGD)
were carried out according to the following phases:
2.1 Preparation Phase:
At this phase, consultancy the team prepared the references for the information gathered by
project team during the need assessment. After discussion with project executive team, reviewed
the project documents and interventions to be implemented by the project in the targeted areas,
the general determinants have been developed for the survey and information required have
been gathered to serve the objective of the project and indicators identified in the documents.
When all documents and references in the office provided, a draft forms and questionnaires of the
Final report- Baseline Survey- Supporting IDPs and HC in Hajjah

survey have been prepared and discussed in principle with the project's executive team, the HH
field survey start before final selection of the villages by the project, that is due to the project
indicators1 not fit the existing realty, most of the villages in the targeted district not meet the ratio
of targeted beneficiaries (30% from host community members and 70% from IDPs), a long list of
all villages includes IDPs was prepared by the project's executive team, a short list of 8 villages
was agreed and the final selection of the village will be done after present the result of this
survey,
During the meeting with the project's executive team, they discussed and approved the draft
questionnaire forms, of course, after they correct and adjust the forms. They discussed two types
of forms required for the survey to cover both quantitative and qualitative methods of data
collection. The forms used in this survey are the following:
Directed Information Collection Questionnaires for each household separately (individual
interviews conducted with identified stakeholders).
Focus Group Discussions Questionnaire.
2.2. Training Phase
Upon approval of the survey forms and information to be collected from the field, a one day
training for 13 numerators and 4 facilitator and note taker done according to the following:
The training was conducted for all survey team members based on the duties of each.
Enumerators and team heads were trained on the questionnaires, approaching the
community, data quality and common possible errors in surveys, maintaining the survey tools
etc.
Also, a training session for 4 facilitator and note taker (2 male and 2 female) was done, the
training for the focus group discussion (FGD) includes approaching the community, PRA,
working with community, directing the discussion of the groups, and the focus group
discussion guidelines.
Office pre-test survey for HH and FGD completed, enumerators’ skills were double checked
to ensure consistency and quality of data collection
2.3. Field Work and Quality Control Phase
After processing documents and literatures of the field survey, training the teams, providing all
requirements necessary of the fieldwork and getting over all obstacles in coordination with the
targeted communities. Three teams - two male and two females each was formed for HH survey,
and two male and female teams for focus group discussion. The field visit was made by the
survey team members to the targeted villages and to each household, where the questionnaire
forms was filled through examination the head of household or his wife. In addition, the FGD
questionnaire form was filled by the men group or women group.
1 Interventions will target a ratio of 30% host community members. IDPs: 70% of targeted beneficiaries will be IDPs living outside of
the camps.

The above mention survey teams together with the consultant finalized the data collection phase
in period from 8 - 16 January 2012. During this phase, 612 households were surveyed and 6 FGD
sessions held (4 female sessions and 2 male sessions); four sessions held in Bakeel Al-Mair and
two in Mustaba district.
For culture and social considerations, the contact with families was done by female members.
Field questionnaires were reviewed in the same day by team with random selection check by the
consultant for quality control measures. At the end of each day, a meeting of the survey teams
with the project's executive team and consultant to review the work done on that day was held to
discuss common errors, review recurrences, and to plan for the next day.
2.4. Data Management and Office Work
In parallel to the field work for data collection, data entry took place in SPSS statistical program.
Data was entered the day after it was collected in the field. Data cleaning was carried out in
SPSS and MS Excel by sorting records to filter out extreme values and to check logical errors.
Consistency checks were run to detect and correct data entry errors.
The first step of the data cleaning was the verification about the uniqueness of the numbers of the
HH questionnaires. Questions that includes significant number of the answer “others” were
reviewed for coding. This includes questions about drinking water sources and family income
sources.
Finally, after finishing the field work and data entry, data was re-checked; for data entry quality,
by the Consultant where randomly selected 5% of all questionnaires were tested for errors and
inconsistencies related to missing entries. Percentage of mistakes in all checked questionnaires
did not exceed 1%.
2.5. Data Analysis
The final cleaned data set was imported from the SPSS program. Data analysis was conducted in
both SPSS and MS Excel. Frequency distributions were performed on all key indicators to
examine frequency of responses as well as to check for missing values.

3. Results
3.1 Population
During the period from 8 - 16 January 2012, 612 households; in 8 villages of Bakeel Al-Meer and
Mustaba districts, were surveyed by direct questionnaire form and obtained the following data
related to population and HH interviewed. A total of 3683 persons are living in these 8 villages,
including 1458 persons IDPs (40% of the total population) and 2225 persons host community
(60% of the total population), the number of children under 5 years are 962 of them 380 are IDPs
and 582 are host populations. Table 1 at annex 4: data of population and HH interviewed, and
Fig. 1 show village population
According to the data collected at the Household Survey, about 55% of the HH interviewed are
males and 45% are females.

3.2 Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)
3.2.1 Water
Through examining the data of the Household Survey, the consultant found that the main water
sources in villages are wells and wadi base flow are considered the second water source, Table 2
at annex 4 Shows the water source, water consumption and main user data for each village and
Fig 2 show the source of house water, this figurer shows that two thirds of the surveyed houses
are supplied by water through
wells.
According to the data collected at
the Household Survey and FGD,
about 63% of the water uses at
household level cover the
drinking, washing dishes, washing
cloth and animal use, the
remaining percentage (37%) of
the uses covered the same
mention list expect one or two
purpose (such as Drinking and
cooking use). The water
transported from water source to
home by different ways and
animals are the main water
transporter (about 74%).
Because HH cannot
separate the animal
water use from
household water use
the consultant used; to
estimate the livestock
daily water use, the
"Livestock Emergency
Guidelines and
Standards" under the
Sphere Handbook
Humanitarian Charter
and Minimum
Standards in
Humanitarian
Response, many factor
effect the livestock daily
water consumption such the climate and moisture in feeder, etc. during the estimation of livestock
daily water consumption many local habits exist in the project area such as " the women use the
water from the first dishes washing (before adding soap) for livestock drinking purpose" with this

practices the women gain two benefits (1) reduce the collected water quantities and (2) use the
food residual to feed the animal. According to Sphere Standards the minimum water quantities for
livestock is between 20-30 litres/large or medium animal/day and 5 litres/small animal/day, but
based on above mention local practices and focus group discussion results, the average livestock
daily water consumption /decreased from the average daily HH water consumption. The average
livestock daily water consumption estimated as the following: the camels and cows consumption
is 20 litres/day, the sheep consumption is 15 litres/day and the goats consumption is 10 litres/day,
the goats water consumption is less than sheep was due to the goats is more accessible to the
water from the water source directly. During the estimation of daily water consumption for the
sheep and goats in Shat Al-Madfaa village was reduces to 50% as results of 50% of the time the
sheep and goats grazing in the same way of the water source so no water collected to the house
for the animal propose. The donkeys water consumption was not taken in consideration because
the donkeys is the main collector of water, therefore, the donkeys drink directly from the water
source,
According to the above mention and the data collected at the Household Survey level, the daily
water consumption per person per day are between 11.1 liter (at Om -AL-Turab village) and 20.1
liter (at Al-Mafger village), the average water usage of target population is about 16 liter/day, the
water consumption is almost near to sphere minimum standards. For more detail see table 3.1
and fig.a
According to the data collected at the Household Survey level, two third of the respondents felt
that they did not have sufficient water (a total of 66% of HH surveyed indicated that they did not
access to sufficient water). About 40% of the respondents feel that the quality of water is not
good, that is due to "dirt or other sediment in the water" and water "causing sickness". The
difficulty in transporting water from source to house was considered the biggest reason for
insufficient water in the HH, along with the lack of water storage at the household level and the
inconsistency of water supply at the source. About 95% of the respondents at HH level did not
make any treatment to clean the drinking water. More the 70% of the IDPs feel the drinking and
household water situation in their home village was better compared to current situation. For
more detail about the current situation of water see table 2 at annex 4

3.2.2 Sanitation and Hygiene
Table 3 at annex 4 show the data collected in Sanitation and Hygiene
The data collected from the HH survey show that about 25% of the children suffer from diarrhoea
more than once per month and about 21% are more than twice per month; the adults also suffer
from diarrhoea but with less percentage (about 8% more than once per month and 18% more
than twice per month). Lack of awareness about hygiene and lack of safe water contribute to the
spread of disease among IDPs and host communities in the area. Fig. 3 show the diarrhoea -
Children Under 5 years and Fig. 4 show the diarrhoea in the families
The FGD and HH survey shows there is some common habit related to hand-washing "hand-
washing before eating is a common habit", it summarized by fill small container /pan with water
and all HH member or guest wash his hand inside this pan (all member use the same water) this
common habit explain why more than 97% of HH interviewed answers by yes "I wash my hands
before I eat". HH survey shows, 95% of target population believes that hands washing before eat
is important for health reason, 83% for religious reason. Although of 58.5 % using soap in hand-
washing we found in results of FGD and HH survey the target population demonstrate poor
practices (see the above common habit).
The FGD shows, although of more than 50% of the targeted population know that the hand-
washing after latrines is one the critical times when it is a must to wash hands, they are not
demonstrate good hand washing behaviour

Through examining the Household Survey forms, we found that the number of bathrooms was
446 considered as bathrooms, including 82 as traditional toilets and 38 toilets and 326 behind
sheet. 36 bathrooms discharged through a proper sanitation (drains), 66 discharged to open pits
and 192 bathrooms discharged to the open area. A total of 38 toilets serve 612 houses in the
surveyed villages, this results show that there is an extremely limited toilet and bathing options
are available, particularly for women.

3.3 Livestock and Agriculture
Although the goats are best adapted to the conditions in the targeted areas and produce benefits within four to six months, the collected data shows that goats and sheep are the main livestock product in the surveyed area and supported livestock preferred by HH were Goats and Sheep (27% Goats, 28% Sheep and 36% Chicken and Goats/Sheep).
Also, according to the data collected at the Household Survey, the consultant found about 40.2% of total HH owning goats, 56.4% of total HH owning sheep and 23.2% owning poultry, while 13.1% owning goats, sheep and poultry, Fig. 5 The current no. of household involved in livestock production
Due to the short life of the project implementation the measuring of the food security and
agriculture Indicators will be difficult, at the same time, 26% of HH during the baseline survey
have zero income from livestock based activities (not owning any type of livestock), therefore, to
overcome this problem the consultant suggest to use one of the following to measure these
indicators:
Compare the current total no. of livestock exist in the villages with the total no. of
livestock introduced to the villages, the increasing in the total no. of livestock in the
villages by 60% means the income will increase in the same percentage
Calculate the increasing in the incomes of the HH by convert the total no. of livestock
exist in the villages to cash using the market price and than calculate the value of goats
distributed to the villages,
The following table 3.2 shows the current total no. of livestock (camels, caws, goats and sheep)
exist in the village for more detail about these number see annex 4, the table also show existing
total no. of poultry. Fig. 6 The current total no. of livestock in the villages
Final report- Baseline Survey- Supporting IDPs and HC in Hajjah
13
There is no separation between the HH and the women income therefore the indicator used at
HH level is applicable for women income, the DGD show the marketing of livestock is mainly men
responsibility and selling done according to house need, the needs is such as, if home member
need some many for treatment, EID clothes, foods etc. the men sell one sheep/goats at Al-
Marzaq market, the FGD shows also the HH sell the good and healthy livestock and leave the
sick one for HH use, during one FGD the women said "sometime the HH eat the dead animal"
Labor is main sources of annual household income (30.9%) and livestock husbandry is second
main sources (16.2%) fig.8 show the main sources of annual household income. Cereals and
fodder are the main crop in the surveyed area, the table 4 at annex 4 show the data collected
related to livestock and agriculture production in the 8 villages, Fig. 7 Types of supported

4- Recommendations
For smooth project implementation, it's recommend to establish joint village committees
consisting of representatives of IDPs and the host community.
To stimulate beneficiaries to adopt adequate hygiene behavior, awareness and distribution of
hygiene kits and hand washing sets is recommended,
The water test; for number and percent of household water supplies with 0 coliform bacteria per
100ml, is recommended to be done as soon as possible,
It is highly recommended to communicate the planned interventions with communities in order to
comply with local cultural conditions. Of particular concern in this regard are any improvements in
sanitary installations in the vicinity of house.
Capacity building on community level to participate in water management and to identify most
appropriate solutions should be one of project early intervention.
Cash for Work projects for the construction/ rehabilitation of natural water collection points will
help the project to work closely with communities.
Coordination with other parties in Harad will benefit the project for easy acceptance especially
distribution of U5 Children food from the UNICEF,
