Final Report: Words of Relief

During humanitarian crises the performance and impact of health interventions are usually monitored by routine reports and measures of mortality and morbidity, followed by specific actions and blanket interventions to identify and then control the situation. For more robust data, organisations regularly use complex methods such as cluster sampling surveys, which require significant resources and time. Using a small sample LQAS survey in an IDP settlement in South Sudan, this project planned to identify areas in the camp where there was a need for intensifying efforts and care, but at a much more reasonable cost than more conventional survey methodologies.
