ANNEX I COOKING KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE AND
PRACTICES ASSESSMENT TOOL
Introduction
This assessment consists of direct observation (part 1) and interview questions (part
2). The data collected by using this instrument will provide NRC with key
information relating to the existing levels of refugee knowledge, their attitudes and
practices in relation to fuel and cooking practices. It will provide the basis of fuelrelated
activities, including awareness-raising, training needs and feed into income
generation activity development.
Numbers interviewed and duration of the assessment
Ideally, data from at least 50 households should be collected. It is likely that 5-8
assessments will be completed in one day. The assessment is therefore likely to take
9-10 days for data collection, and a further 3-4 days for analysis and report writing.
Instructions to data collector
1. Ask the female head of the household for permission to enter the family
shelter area and ask some questions relating to cooking.
2. Explain the rationale for the assessment.
3. Reassure the female head of the household that the questions are not an
interrogation, but merely a means of getting a better idea on what, and how
fuels are used.
4. Ensure that all components of this tool are completed.
5. Each family assessed should be assigned a unique reference number.
6. Feel free to add any additional observations at the end of the tool.
