Executive summary Demographics The Bernard van Leer Foundation Household Questionnaire for Baseline Survey was administered in 4 districts in Uganda to 1,728 households in 40 different villages from January to June 2011. The respondents are mostly female (81.3%), have an average age of 33 years, and live in households with an average of 6.8 members. The households are almost all in rural areas (93.4%) and 92.0% of the households grow crops as their main livelihood activity. A majority of respondents (74.2%) have either no education or have not completed primary school. Poverty and resources
The respondents are overwhelmingly poor. The median monthly income was 25,000 Ugandan shillings, which corresponds to $10.21 US using the December 2011 exchange rate. This is far below the international poverty line of $1.25 US a day. Using this standard, 82.8% of the respondents are below the poverty line, and another 9.4 are at risk of falling below it. Many households do own land (88.4), livestock (77.6%), and/or a bicycle (62.1%), though less than half own communication devices such as a phone (32.6%) or a radio (45.3%). Very few households owned a television or motor vehicle. There were large gender differences in resource ownership. While it is the norm for households to have to sell assets for emergency needs (59.4% have had to do this in the past 6 months), 32.2% of respondents reported that they currently have no assets that they could sell in an emergency. Most of the respondents (77.1%) reported that their household has had inadequate food in the past 6 months. In addition, almost one fourth of the respondents (22.8%) reported spending most of ’ / school-related expenses. While attempts to find patterns in the data based on income were inconclusive, due to the overwhelming poverty in the sample, certain resources did seem to be related to health and food access. The construction of the house (the material of the roof and walls), ownership of livestock and land, asset ownership, emergency sale of assets, and main source of food were related to not only whether a household had adequate ’ .

Children’s health MUAC The interviewers measured the Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC), height, and weights of the children in the household who were at home during the interview process. These measurements were moved into another dataset containing 3,037 children, and averages for MUAC and weight are reported by age. The height measurements were inconsistent (different units of measurement were clearly used, but not specified) and so height was not analyzed. 12.7% of the individual children between the ages of 6 and 71 months were either malnourished or at risk of malnutrition, using a standard of MUAC<13.5 cm. In addition, 17.2% of households had at least one child between the ages of 6 and 71 months who was either malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. This statistic varied by subcounty, with Asuret standing out as having the fewest households with children at risk for malnutrition (4.4%). Risk of malnutrition in children was related to resource variables such as dietary diversity, household assets, livestock, garden, main source of food, and house construction materials. Illness The majority of respondents (82.5%) have had a child who became ill within the past month. The most commonly reported illness was malaria, present among the children in 61.2% of the households. 11.8% of households reported losing a child aged 1-8 in the past year, and 14.8% reported losing an infant within one week after birth. The illness statistics varied by subcounty. While 92.7% of households in Ongino reported having a sick child in the past month, only 55.9% of households in Lorengedwat reported this. Child illness was related to resource variables such as inadequate food, house construction materials, and emergency sale of household assets, as well as violence against respondents and manner of refuse disposal. Incidence of child malaria within a household was related to possession of mosquito nets and subcounty, and also to the type of containers used for water storage in the household.
Executive summary

Child mistreatment A majority of participants (52%) reported that they are aware of children between the ages of 0 and 8 in their communities who are mistreated. Out of these participants, 81.4% believed that orphans and/or children staying with stepparents are the most mistreated children in the community. The most common mistreatment, reported by 35.4% of participants, was beating or physical assault. Awareness of mistreated children in a community was related to subcounty, as well as resource variables such as inadequate food and house construction materials. In addition, female respondents who had experienced violence were more likely to report being aware of mistreated children in the community, as were respondents who had a child fall ill within the past month. In a separate item in the child discipline section, 86.2% of participants reported that they do or sometimes do believe in beating a child who has done something wrong. Respondents were more likely to believe in beating a child if they had had inadequate food in the past 6 months, but were less likely to believe in beating a child if the household had at least one child who was malnourished or at risk for malnutrition. This variable was also related to subcounty and the number of children in the household. Violence Most respondents (79.3%) reported that violence against women happens in their community. The most commonly reported form of violence was wife beating or battering, which 65.7% of respondents reported as happening in their community. Respondents were more likely to believe that violence against women happens in their community if they had inadequate food in the past 6 months or if they had had to sell assets for emergency needs in the past 6 months, and perceptions also differed with dietary diversity and whether the respondents had experienced violence personally. The majority of respondents (60.3%) reported personally experiencing some form of violence in the past year. 37.6% of female respondents reported experiencing beating or battering, which was the most commonly reported form of violence.
22.9% of those respondents reported that the violence they experienced resulted in serious injuries such as deep wounds, broken bones, or broken teeth, and 29.8% reported that it resulted in eye injuries, sprains, dislocations or burns. 86.8% of female respondents who experienced violence reported that their husbands were responsible for the violence, and 33.6% of female respondents who experienced violence took no action in response to the violence Women were more likely to experience violence if they lived in households with depleted resources, such as inadequate food, a lack of dietary diversity, or the need to sell resources for emergency needs in the past 6 months. Women were less likely to experience violence if they owned land or lived in a household that was securely above the poverty line or with a female head of household. Violence was also related to other resource variables such as house construction materials and whether the household has a separate dwelling place for animals. Finally, women who believe in beating children who have misbehaved were more likely to have experienced violence themselves. Quotes There are quotes interspersed throughout the analysis. The quotes are from respondents and were written in by the interviewer at the end of the questionnaire, in “ ?� ( Appendix B for the full survey). Many of the quotes that were recorded express themes of severe need and some respondents asked for specific programs, materials, and resources that would personally help them and their communities. Many respondents also talked about their hopes for the future or the hopelessness they feel about their current situation. Finally, a number of the quotes express curiosity and/or a lack of understanding about both the purpose of the research and who the researchers were working for. See Appendix A for a list of all recorded quotes. A Note on Descriptive Analyses All of the analyses in this report are descriptive, and none should be interpreted as indicating a causal relationship.

Next steps - putting the data in context
On item F9, which is about children in the household, interviewers listed only the children who happened to be We offer this statistical analysis as the beginning of a collaborative conversation about the data. While it was home at the time of the interview (one of the quotes at the end of one of the surveys asks whether the carried out by researchers who considered all of the collected data carefully, we were removed from both the interviewer would come back when the children were home from school). As a result, the surveys contain only survey construction and data collection processes. We partial information about families and the ages of their are not familiar with the specific context of rural Uganda, and though we made every effort to analyze the children and the resulting sample of children whose data in a way that is meaningful and knowledgeable (by measurements were recorded is not random. ’ Interviewers sometimes recorded results in different ’ ) measurements, without specifying this difference. For we had many questions about how to interpret the ’ analyses due to our lack of contextual understanding. recorded in both inches and centimeters, despite the specification of centimeters on the questionnaire, but the The data, however, were rich and informative and researchers did not record their unit of measurement. deserve deeper exploration. We would like to Some interviewers specified that land ownership was respectfully recommend a series of data-driven recorded in hectares, even though the item asks for acres, workshops with Ugandans from the regions where the putting all of the units of measurement for this item in surveys were administered. We believe that presenting question. this information to them and facilitating a set of collaborative analyses (what we call community analyses) will help the writers of the final report to understand the data better as well as provide the possibility for generating additional analyses and interpretations. Concerns about the survey instrument and administration Many items on the questionnaire were inconsistent, unclear, or did not leave room for respondents to record consistent and meaningful answers. For instance, item C5 asks how many people contribute to the income of the household, but does not specify whether the respondent should include themselves, leaving inconsistency in the responses. Other items, such as item D24 and E25, included categorical choices that were not mutually exclusive and/or not exhaustive, leaving respondents with no clear answer choice. Item E12 asks about distance, travel time, and mode of transport to different health facilities, but leaves no room for respondents to record that a specific type of health facility is not accessible from their home. The G (“ experience the following forms of violence in this ?”) G (“ ?”) more difficult.
Finally, the survey is written in English and responses were . “ ” item A18, which asks respondents for the main language of communication used in their home. No respondent chose this first option, meaning that English was not the primary language for any respondent. Either the interviews were conducted in English or the interviewers translated the items as they administered the ’ before writing them on the questionnaire. There is no way of knowing whether the translation was consistent across interviewers and across respondents. Responses to certain items raise concerns about how well the survey was understood by respondents and/or interviewers. For example, of the male respondents who reported experiencing violence, 71.5% reported that this violence was committed by their husband. Other respondents reported having children who sleep under treated mosquito nets, after reporting that they have no treated mosquito nets. As a result of these and many other concerns and inconsistencies that call the validity of this survey into question, we were very cautious in our analyses. We found some items impossible to analyze, and we analyzed others with caution, using strategies that maximize the possibility for trustworthy results. At other times we presented our concerns in the results.

The average monthly income for participants was 70,663.09 UGX ($27.44 USD). This average does not give an accurate assessment of how many people are living above or below an established poverty line. Using the international standard of living on or making $1.25 USD per day, we established a base poverty line for the sample.[i],[ii] As of December 31, 2011, the US to UGX currency exchange rate was $1 USD to 2,449.08 UGX.[iii] Accounting for a standard 30 day month, the poverty line stands at 91,840.50 UGX.[iv] According to the Uganda Bureau of Statistics, the risk of falling below the poverty line is not ameliorated until a family makes twice the poverty line (183,681 UGX).iii Using these standards, the majority of participants in this study are below the poverty line (82.8%). 9.4% of participants were still at risk for falling below the poverty line and only 7.8% of participants would be “ ” .

There was a final, open“Now, we have come to the end of the discussion. Do you have any question concerning what we have been talking ?� T this prompt. In many cases, the written-in responses were difficult to read, and the data enterers typed them in as precisely as possible: She is a widow suffering from AIDS so she needs support for the orphans My pot does not have a cup on top of cover because children are many, there is. no way you can maintain a covered pot with cups on top each picks its cups. issues of householder (she was how can they be solved) - no any mosquito net in household - no child sleeps in mosquito net - She is PLWHA's - She is pregnant - the husband often violent and polygamous Men does not allow us women to go for HIV test is government going to help. Government should come and help us women test for HIV He requesyed for some support for children suffering from AIDS Has a young child of 8 months does not breastfeed because PLWHA. The household head is polygamous and the respondent wanted to know whether there could be any future benefits. What about HIV/AIDs do you have any program for that? Is there any assistance towards our problems? Is there any way that we the Northerners will be helped by providing us with a permanent cash crop like in Buganda eg Coffee? Shall we be able to get more clean water in regards to our problem? We also have only one Health Centre in the whole parish, shall we be given more Health Centre? (shortage of drugs). We need loans for small businesses Can the project help us with loans for ..... our income? The respondent comments that she does not have money to take her child to a nursery school because she is single and was given a small piece of land where cultivates barely 2 crops, she relies on selling "ajoner" local brew The household has been given their own land in just two years, that's why they have bot yet built a bathroom and toilet. Some children not yeet at school and no animals. Income still low She needs support to build for her house Men who are educated worker business who have money tend to ... a lot of women right-does government know that? What assistance do you have for education and health --- water sources. Is there any program to assist in fighting poverty. When will this project come so that my children also benefit because those in projects are for the rich people yet us the poor nobody looks at you. Poverty is scorching I cannot afford food for the children. We need help because we are poor Please are you going to help us come out of poverty Some projects tend to segregate other people. I hope yours will not do the same please. Why is it that all progrmas in our communities always are directed to the rich? To eliminate poverty For us in our community projects target at rich people only. How are we going to help children of parents who separated since the burden rests on mothers? Since she has less support for the children are you ready to help in raising the children?

BERNARD VAN LEER FOUNDATION (BVLF) HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONNARE FOR BASELINE SURVEY ID Number Good morning/afternoon. My name is _____________________________ I work for Centre of Basic Research that is conducting a study on behalf of Bernard van Leer Foundation (BvLF) based in Netherlands. BvLF is an NGO focusing on improving social and economic development opportunities for young children from 0 to age 8 years. BvFL believes that all children irrespective of their social, economic, physical conditions should be supported to get a good start in life, so as to be able to make a fuller contribution to tomorrow’s families, communities and societies. In this study, we are assessing the status of children aged 0-8 years in the rural population of the 4 districts of Kumi, Nakapiripirit, Soroti and Apac. The survey will provide BvLF with detailed information describing the socio-economic situation of the rural populace in the targeted districts prior to the planned interventions. Some of the questions I will be asking will be about your children, your self or the household that you live in. You have been randomly selected to participate in this survey and your views will remain confidential and used only for purposes of this study. You are free to ask me any questions now or at the end of the interview. I kindly request for your cooperation in answering the questions we shall ask.

As part of this survey, we also are asking people to allow us take measurement of their children aged between 0- to 5 years. The reason we are doing this is to try and find out whether our children are growing well as expected. We shall take the weight and height of the child and also ask you a few questions. The equipment we are using is clean and completely safe. No names will be attached but in case we identify that your child has severe malnutrition (a result of not feeding well), we shall advise you to seek help from your nearest health facility.
