BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT
The City of Nairobi exemplifies rapid urbanization amidst deteriorating economic and health conditions. More than 60% of urban poor reside in the informal settlements. Urban poverty is characterised by lack of employment, low wages and returns from informal employment, and extremely poor levels of basic services such as housing, sanitation, health care and education. Conditions in the informal settlements create greater exposure to violence (often sexual and gender based), unwanted pregnancies and adverse health and nutrition outcomes, particularly for women and children. To determine the current situation in health and nutrition outcomes, Concern Worldwide is planning to conduct a Health and Nutrition Survey.
METHODOLOGY/TECHNICAL APPROACH
The data will be collected through the use of ODK or questionnaire. The survey will apply a three stage cluster sampling where the first stage cluster sampling will be the sampling of blocks from theinformal settlements, the second stage sampling will involve the selection of segments from the sampled blocks and the third stage sampling will be the selection of households from the sampled segments
DELIVERABLES/OUTPUTS
a) Quantitative data using the ODK or questionnaires
b) Qualitative data using the Focus Group Discussions and the Key Informant Interviews
