Disaster Poverty Household Survey 2017-2018, Dar es Salaam (Tanzania)
Abstract
The DPHS in Dar es Salaam was conducted in two rounds in November-December 2017 and in September 2018, with the objective to assess the role of poverty and other social factors in urban flooding in the city. The survey data collected in 2017 focused on exposure to frequent flooding, while the follow up survey in 2018, targeting the same households, focused on the impact of a flood event that happened in April 2018. During the follow up survey in 2018, additional households were also added to the sample. The data collected is representative at the city level and overrepresented in areas that are flood prone.
This project was a collaborative effort between Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR), the Tanzanian Urban Resilience Program (TURP), the Poverty Global Practice and Urban, Disaster Risk Management, Resilience and Land Global Practice (GPURL). Data collection was carried out by UDA Consulting under World Bank supervision.
