Abstract
This report is divided into three main chapters. In this first chapter, we explore ‘the good, the bad, and the ugly’ of survey design for urban areas. The objective is to contribute to best practice and knowledge sharing on surveying urban areas through a frank discussion of successes and failures of the pilots, drawing particular attention to challenges associated with working in urban areas. The second chapter provides detailed information on the survey methodology. This section will act as a guide on the sampling strategy and weighting of the survey that is likely to be useful for analysts that work with data. The final chapter draws on descriptive statistics from the two pilot surveys to provide a first look at the kinds of insights that can be supported by this new survey instrument. Although this is only a preliminary analysis, the descriptive statistics provided in this chapter already demonstrate the advantages of looking at cities through a more focused lens. The chapter sheds new light on the challenges of access to basic services, informality, urban mobility, and housing in Dar es Salaam and Durban.
