EWI Resource Centre
Below you can find EWI resources to use in your own applications:
The survey includes all modules needed to construct the EWI, and should be administered to both a woman and man in the household. In addition, household modules on dwelling and sanitation, as well as the household’s water portfolio are included to gain background information on the household’s WASH situation. This part of the survey is best administered to women, as they are expected to be more informed regarding WASH.
The implementation guide provides comprehensive guidance on the steps needed to implement a survey using the EWI, including ethical considerations, sampling approaches, field implementation tips, data management, and follow-up with participants. This implementation guide complements other EWI training resources that include an EWI enumerator training guide and EWI technical guide.
The enumerator training manual will outline important information related to the research and respondents, as well as delve into the various modules that the survey consists of. The manual is complemented by the enumerator training PowerPoint that can be used to facilitate the training session. Various parts (both in the manual and Powerpoint) have been highlighted in yellow; these should be adjusted by yourself for you local context and specific study before the manual and training are given to the enumerators.
The technical guide will outline important information related to the cleaning, analysis, and reporting of EWI data, as well as the indicators’ thresholds. The manual is complemented by the EWI indicators and EWI calculation Stata Do-Files, as well as the EWI results Excel template, that can be used to generate and report EWI results.
