The community survey is targeted at the household-level. Data will be collected from households in the communities that are intended to be a target for ESP activities.

In each of the 12 targeted FDC areas, five clusters (10 surveys per cluster) will be selected and a total of 50 household surveys will need to be completed in each targeted community. Ultimately, this will result in a final sample of 600 surveys (300 female, 300 male).

Deliverables:
1)An interim report on the status of the field work submitted to CICan by June 15, 2022.
2)The fieldwork data collection for Tool 1 and Tool 2 completed by June 30, 2022.
3)The data collected for Tool 1 and Tool 2 submitted to CICan by July 15, 2022
4)A short final report on the field work data submitted to CICan on July 22, 2022.

ØThe expected cost for enumerators to collect the sample survey population data for Tool 1: Graduation Survey. The deliverable is 389 graduates (162 female and 227 male graduates). The data can be collected by phone or face to face. While ESP will provide a list of the graduates for each of the 12 FDCs and provisional contact information, the response rate for phone calls can be low and follow up phone calls and communication with the FDCs may be required.
