Nigeria - National Water Supply And Sanitation Baseline Survey-2006, First Round

Households in all the 8,800 Political Wards spread across the 774 LGAs in 36 states and FCT will be surveyed. The Baseline Consultants shall administer survey questionnaires to take stock of sources of drinkable water, the volume/cost of water consumption; the sanitation facility and occurrences of water related diseases in household surveyed.

SELECTION OF LOCATION AND HOUSEHOLDS

The Baseline Consultants shall sensitize members of the community through the councillors and other recognized leaders about the exercise to forestall any suspicion or misconception about the survey. Baseline supervisors shall document the survey process in each community by stating the names of councillors, community leaders met, list of all communities identified in each political ward and the ones selected for survey, without forgetting to state all the problems encountered in the survey process.

A typical Nigerian settlement, regardless of its population is either a multi community ward or a multi ward community. But in either case, the Baseline Consultants should ensure that the selection of the households take into cognisance the geographical spread and socio-economic variance of the ward. It should be noted that in every ward, the selected houses shall be enumerated through a transect walk and the first sampling element, which shall be the first house on the right or left, will determine the subsequent ones to be selected.

MULTI COMMUNITY WARD

The Baseline Consultants shall go through the list of all communities or villages in each ward out of which two (2) shall be randomly selected. Starting with the first community, a minimum of eleven (11) houses shall be systematically selected from the listed households, after determining the sample interval. The sampling interval for the community shall be determined by dividing the total number of houses in it by eleven (11). This process shall be repeated for the second community to arrive at a total of twenty-two (22) houses for the ward.

MULTI WARD COMMUNITY

The Baseline Consultants shall go through the list of streets, quarters, discrete areas, housing estates, or haphazardly located homes with no identifiable streets in the ward, where a random sample of 22 houses shall be systematically selected.

However, where there are no streets, the Baseline Consultants shall demarcate the ward into appropriate blocks and select two blocks randomly. The houses in each block shall be listed and eleven (11) houses systematically selected.
