Resaerch Project
After an initial search for secondary data on indicators (please
find attached the list of secondary indicator data collected) many
stakeholders suggested that fieldwork is also needed to get a more
current idea of the situation on the ground and to collect information
on missing indicators.
Therefore I decided to focus on 4 localities around Shimba hills
to do a household questionnaire (please find attached the English
and the Swahilli draft versions). Most indicators are included
in the questionnaire even a biodiversity aspect.
Per locality four villages will be selected two close to the Shimba
reserve border and two about 5 km away from the forest. Per village
about 12 questionnaires will be collected. 12*16 villages = 192
questionnaires. In 10 days of field work that will mean about 20
questionnaires per day. There will be 4 teams and each team will
collect 5 quest. per day.
This
fieldwork will be done in cooperation with one volunteer from
a local CBO from each locality, a professional enumerator from
the Central Bureau of Statistics and the village chiefs. At the
moment we have also closely involved Plan International and the
divisional officer. Next Wednesday the 19th of April I have organised
a meeting/workshop with several parties involved to introduce
and discuss the questionnaire that will be used for during this
fieldwork in Kubo division
