Overview of SIMVA baseline survey 2010-2011

• Survey process

• Outputs

• Baseline Indicators

• Drawing boundary and sampling

SIMVA 2010-11: the Process

• Starting in late 2010

• Samples drawn by the regional team

• Data entry template prepared by the regional team for all countries

• Data analysis undertaken separately by each national survey team

• Synthesis provided for the whole LMB corridor

SIMVA 2010-11: Outputs

• A questionnaire

• Four national reports

• One regional report

• Technical guidelines

Baseline Indicators
