Assessment of a gridded population sample frame for a household survey of refugee populations in Uganda, 2021
Gridded population sampling was successfully utilized for this refugee study, saving time and money that would have been needed if enumeration of all the refugee settlements had been required. Gridded population sampling is a useful tool when census data are outdated or unavailable or when the population is dynamic, such as with refugees or other mobile or at-risk populations for surveillance or as part of a humanitarian response.
