Cambodia - Household Resilience in Cambodia Review of Livelihoods, Food Security and Health: Part 1: 2015/2016 El Niño Situation Analysis, September 2016

The objective of the El Niño Situation Analysis was to assess the medium and long term impacts of the 2015/2016 El Niño event in order to better understand household risks and vulnerabilities with an eye towards better understanding the resilience of Cambodian households. This was a nationwide household survey, covering 160 villages and 2,400 households in the 4 recognized “natural regions” in Cambodia (Plains, Tonle Sap, Coastal and Plateau or Mountain4). In total, 600 households were randomly selected per “natural region”, using two-stage probability proportional to size cluster sampling methods. Data collection involved 11 enumeration teams, with each team visiting between 14 and 15 villages. Data collection was conducted via mobile devices, using the KoboToolBox mobile data collection application.

Data collection began on 12 May and was completed by 26 May. This survey is the first of 3 surveys to be conducted, with the second survey scheduled for December 2016 and the final survey scheduled for May 2017.
