GOAL has been implementing a large-scale humanitarian response across northern Idlib which aims to reduce the effect of food insecurity and improve resilience of communities to ongoing shocks resulting from the conflict. Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) is funding a WASH project which aims to improve access to water for the communities in the northern part of Idlib government and to increase hygiene awareness in those communities with an overall goal of “improved health outcomes through access to safe water, hygiene promotion, and solid waste management activities, among conflict affected people in Idlib Governorate, Syria.”
The purpose of this baseline study is to establish point-in-time measurements for key water and hygiene-related indicators as the basis for future comparison after WASH programmes are implemented. The data collection was conducted in four sub-district in Idlib government within Goal’s area of operation (AoO). The project targets a total of 379,000 beneficiaries with 49,000 coming from the area of this baseline assessment. Data collection was performed at the household level. Household (HH) sampling was randomised at the village level during data collection. The Baseline sample consist of 135 respondents across the sub-districts where NCA WASH activities are planned to be implemented.
