The Somali Researchers Association (SRA) conducted the baseline and endline surveys for INTERSOM’s WASH project in Kismayo, Lower Juba, funded by the Somalia Humanitarian Fund (SHF). The project provided water, sanitation and hygiene services to displaced families and host communities affected by climate shocks.
Two surveys, one project
SRA measured conditions at the start of the project and again at the end, in Nasrudin and Kanjiroon IDP camps and in the host communities of Turqato and Tulo Barwaqo. Comparing the two showed what the project changed for families.
Before the project
25 July – 10 August 2024
- Household survey across the four locations
- 8 focus group discussions, held separately with women and men
- 12 key informant interviews with IDP, women and community leaders
- 25 enumerators trained, 13 women and 12 men
After the project
5 – 30 September 2025
- Household survey across the same four locations
- Focus group discussions and key informant interviews
- Direct observation of water points, latrines and hygiene practices
- Results compared with the baseline to measure change
What SRA delivered
For both surveys, SRA designed the tools, trained the enumerators, collected the data in the field, analysed it and wrote the reports. The endline assessed the project’s relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and impact across water supply, sanitation and hygiene promotion.
