Multi-sector Household Survey - Kapoeta Counties - March 2021 Ochola James - ReliefWeb
Background and Rationale

The survey was conducted on December 2020 in three
counties of greater Kapoeta (Kapoeta North Kapoeta South
and Kapoeta East) with the purposely to;

- Get household information on major sectors of human
 development of

• Health and Wash, Livelihood, Education and protection

- To get household needs and have informed intervention
 strategies
Methodology
12 payam were randomly selected 2 in Kapoeta East, 5 in Kapoeta South and 5 for
Kapoeta North. 540 households were surveyed. Certain Payam of Kapoeta east and
north were excluded from the random selection due to logistical reasons.
The survey questionnaires focus mainly on:
   • Livelihood, Food security, Health-hygiene promotion, Education, Wash,
     Agriculture, Livestock, Market, Household asset, Migration, Association, Conflict
     and protection.
   • ECW1 (multi indicator pastoral education) survey
Two-stage cluster sampling:
   • 1st stage - selection of villages (based on probability proportional to population
     size (PPS) and stratification).
   • 2nd stage - selection of households (based on “improved random-walk” method)

Meeting with local authorities and community leaders representing all 3 counties was
conducted in order to get the population size of all the payam and bomas
Geographic Location of greater Kapoeta Region
• Greater Kapoeta comprises
  of 3 counties (Kapoeta north,
  Kapoeta South and Kapoeta
  East)
• The communities are purely
  pastoral they mainly rear
  cattle, sheep/goat in
  hundreds.
• The main settlement are in
  Riwoto, Narus and Kapoeta
  town.
Main Findings
• 10% of the population are severely hit by hunger while 60% are in
  moderate hunger. This is because household Food reserve get exhausted by
  July, August, September, October and worst in December. This attributed to
  low production due small cultivation (1 ha of private land). Consequently
  reduced accessibility to meal a day to 1 time for adult and 2 times for
  children especially in Kapoeta north.
• Increasing challenge in water accessibility to over 41% of households, the
  existing boreholes are said to have broken down. The distance to boreholes
  is 30- 1 hour walk and the time spent to fetch water is 10-30 minutes.
• Greater need to support education system in greater Kapoeta, the survey
  result shows that 94% of population are not educated and 83% cannot read
  or write. This means the trend is likely to continue unless major
  intervention is put in place in term of upgrade of schools (P.1 to P.8),
  strengthening SMC and PTA bodies, school feeding program etc.
• Agriculture is the main source of survival to 62% of people in greater
  Kapoeta

  food below 6 months. The report shows only 27% introduce after 6-
  8.9 months
• 41% of households agree that boreholes are not functioning/broken
  down and most water points don’t have water committee
