ActionAid International Southern Africa Partnership Programme (SAPP-Zimbabwe)
Operation, the representative sample used in this regard is 33% of the total
number of homesteads in the 66 wards.
✓ Baseline data and the extent of the impact: The study is conducted within
the context of various views and differing understanding of impact of the
Operation and the current situation. For example, government reports estimates
are inconsistent with those of the United Nations - IOM. In the absence of
reliable and consistent baseline data the evaluators were dependent on using a
sampling method (which in itself was by no means conclusive) in capturing as
much information as possible and applying this to an agreed understanding of the
factors that constitute impact of the Operation.
✓ Spatial coverage: the survey covered most affect urban centres and did not
analyse the rural context specifically in relation to the reception and resettlement
of the people who relocated to these areas.
