Adding the remaining 4 wards – 30/26 * 14,137 = 16,311 households in all 30 wards Total population affected, households sampled*average household size*average households per homestead* 16,311*5.8*3 = 283 811 However the sample is only a third of the population in the wards. Therefore, the total population would be: 283 811*3= 851 434 From the data generated from the survey, 97% (n = 13 712) of homesteads visited in the 26 wards were affected by the Operation in varying proportions and different ways. Demographic data for the general population is discussed below: • Overall population sampled is 81,995 with an average household size of 5.8 • The majority of respondents and household heads were male (56% and 61% respectively) • The total number of households affected by the operation (which includes; households that lost accommodation, had shelter lost, lost livelihoods, children not attending school as a result) was 97% (13,712) of sampled households. • The average age of the head of household is 41 years, with the youngest reported as 12 years old and the oldest as 89 years old. • Female household heads are slightly older than male household heads, 43 and 39 years old, respectively. • Approximately 12% of homesteads visited are above 60 years (elderly headed) and only 1% (142) were headed by minors (commonly referred to as child headed, below 18 years). • 32% of interviewed households were hosting orphans, whilst a further 13% were hosting at least a chronically ill individual. A minority of 6% were hosting at least a mentally/physically challenged person. • As a measure of vulnerability, the analysis classified all households in five categories (see table below). Most households interviewed fall in 3 categories (39%), whilst in 1 category: 15%; 2 categories: 31%; 4 categories: 11% and only 4% in the 5 categories. • Out of the 14,137 sampled homesteads, 22% of them reported that children were not attending school as a direct result of the Operation.
