Overview of observations from the field:

1. Non-availability of respondents was still present but tomorrow we are differing our approach by sending 1 team very early in the morning and the other teams will work till late evening and in the approach where we are able to capture most of the respondents we will go by that.
2. We have also added a question asking about ANM's name and number in the geo location form so that we can later use it for admin data
3. One case was also regarding different areas of the village having different access to government tap water like one specific area on one side of the road has tap connections but other area on the other side of the road doesn't have. To tackle this, it was discussed that it's good to include such areas in the village with no pipeline from government tanks so that we can use it in analysis in later (endline) and compare on the cases of diarrhea and other health related questions. We do CENSUS in ALL HHs in the village, whether they have a tap connection or not.
4. For the cases where household have multiple dwellings and some of them are under-construction or they are not currently living there but plan to live there we discussed that it would be good to ask them addresses of their dwellings where they currently live or are planning to move to, to be added in comments also. This is going to be highlighted in the landmark field only by entering current address then "plan to move address"
5. For the cases, where male respondent is the only one present in the household at the time of the survey but there are pregnant women and mothers of children U5 residing there but are not available at the moment we think that we will revisit this household again on the same day to know if the primary respondent has arrived. We will do this on the 2nd day of census day too. If we are still unable to find this woman, we will collect roster related information from the male person and submit the form but to get the information of the child and mother we will keep on revisiting that household on the day of the baseline survey too or in follow up baseline household surveys. Highlighting these unique IDs below so the revisits can be planned for a future date.
6. In the case that the household is split across two nearby dwellings but having a common kitchen we will consider the dwelling where meals are cooked as the main address and include both sets of members. Water sample should be collected from the dwelling where meals are cooked.
