Lugansk region: Krasnyy Luch, Bryanka, Slavyanoserbsk rayon, Stanitsa Luganskaya, Popasnaya rayon, Severodonetsk, Lisichansk, Rubezhnoe, Kremennaya rayon, Novoaidar rayon, Svatovo rayon, Starobelsk rayon, Belovodsk rayon, Donetsk region: Svetlodarsk, Krasnogorovka, Yasinovataya, Avdeevka, Zugres, Mariinka, Mospino, Amvrosievka, Krasnyy Liman, Semyonovka, Kramatorsk, Slaviansk, Artyomovsk, Seversk, Konstantinovka, Dobropolie, Krasnoarmeisk, Mariupol, Volodarskoe, Volnovakha. Methodology The survey was conducted by the CF “KHORS” with the involvement of partner NGOs (Severodonetsk community development agency, Dyvokray-2008, Teremok, Kreminna Business Association, Community development fund of Kramatorsk etc). To arrange the survey two coordinators from CF “KHORS” were invited (coordinators of the survey in Lugansk and Donetsk Oblasts) and experts conducting the survey based on “cluster” method (one expert per several neighboring territories). Request form were complied and sent to the relevant organizations by the survey coordinators. “Cluster” experts controled the responses preparation. Assessment of the situation in WASH in Donetsk and Lugansk Oblasts was carried out by the representatives of the CF “KHORS” and the partner organizations in compliance with the questionnaire provided by UNICEF. The survey was conducted with the representatives of the authorities, water supply companies, healthcare institutions, tutors of kindergartens, teaches at schools, residential care facilities, sanatoria, rest houses and other places of compact settlement for the temporary displaced people, IDP`s, NGO`s, entrepreneurs and business leaders (depend on territory, approximately – 8 respondents in each survey site). That is, the people who possesses the information or can assess the situation in the WASH sphere will be interviews in dynamics. The sample for the survey and target groups composed by the “cluster” experts under the direct supervision of the coordinators. 3 Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Survey in the conflict affected areas of the Eastern Ukraine The training to clarify the methodology for the “cluster” experts was conducted by Skype, phone and e-mail. Information on results of the survey was entered in the specially designed Google forms under the control of the survey coordinators. Based on survey the analysis report on needs in WASH sphere in Donetsk and Lugansk Oblasts was prepared. Limitations in making a survey During making a survey following limitations were arised: 1) Lack of numeric data. As a rule, the authorities and other organizations do not keep records of the affected population in the context of interest groups. Also, do not always have data on the presence of vulnerable groups, especially in areas outside the control of Ukraine. Therefore, the data shown in the "affected population" and "Vulnerable groups" are estimates. 2) In areas that are not controlled by Ukraine, many informants refused to be interviewed for safety reasons. Therefore, in the territory uncontrolled by Ukraine, preference was given to individual interviews. Within the territory of Ukraine, the survey was conducted mainly in the form of focus group research. 3) In a number of cases, informants asked not to disclose their contact details for security reasons. In this regard, in the reports for the publication, the information may indicate the respondents removed. Short description of survey results Territoties The study interviewed 296 informants to 33 territories, including 20 in the Donetsk region and 13 - Luhansk. Of those, 26 areas are mainly controlled by the Government of Ukraine (including those that are controlled partially and undergo to periodic shelling by militants:Avdiyivka, Krasnogorovka, Marinka, Stanitsa Luhanskaya, Novoaydarsky and Popasnjansky areas). Not controlled by the Government of Ukraine are 7 areas (cities Amrosiyivka, Zugres, Mospino and Yasinovataya in Donetsk region, cities Bryanka, Krasny Luch and Slavyanoserbsky area in Luhansk region). In order to ensure safety in the territories beyond the control of the Government of Ukraine, in the form of individual interviews. In areas controlled by the Government of Ukraine, the survey was conducted mainly in the form of focus - groups. By the degree of influence of the conflict (damages) informants assigned territories as follows: The most damaged – 9 (Avdiyivka, Amvrosiyivka, Krasnogorovka, Marinka, Mospino, Semyonovka, Yasinovataya, Slavyanoserbsky area, Stanitsa Luhanskaya); 4 Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Survey in the conflict affected areas of the Eastern Ukraine strongly damaged – 5 (Volnovaha, Slavyansk, Bryanka, Lysychansk, Popasnjansky area); average impact – 4 (Zugres, Svetlodarsk, Novoaydarsky area Starobelsky area) minor damage – 15 (Artemivs'k, Volodarskoe, Dobropole, Konstantinovka, Kramatorsk, Krasnoarmejsk, Krasny Liman, Mariupol, Seversk, Belovodsky area, Krasny Luch, Kreminna area, Rubezhnoye, Svatovsky area, Severodonetsk) At the same time, in some cases, the area was called as less affected by the informants because previously damaged objects at the time of the survey have already been restored and the consequences were not so obvious. Affected population As noted above, in many cases there is no information on victims in the context of interest groups. In this regard, the study was able to gather information about the affected populations only in 15 territories. Information is mostly estimated. According to reports the number is 208 216 people (161 262 people in the Donetsk region and 46 954 people in the Luhansk region). Of these, 30,899 women (20,152 in the Donetsk region, and 10,747 in the Luhansk region), 7,928 children
