What next?
The survey will remain open until the research team decides to close it. As an additional method to reach as many humanitarians as possible, our team member in Ethiopia will duplicate and distribute paper copies of the survey in the coming days. Access to the Internet and computer time can be an issue for some.

Please contact me if you have any questions, comments, concerns or if you would like to be profiled in an extended interview.
