Denominator: all interviewed adults ≥ 15 years included in key population group definitions. Numerator: those who indicated social protection coverage
bCombined school, social, material, emotional and medical support. Denominator: children < 18 years old, conditional on whether the child, natural mother, and/or natural father has been very sick for at least three months during the past 12 months (too sick to work or do normal activities). Numerator: those who indicated receipt of child support in the last 12 months
cNo 12-month variable included in the data set
dEstimate based on 25–49 persons/observations and should be interpreted with caution. Results presented are estimates of proportions with 95% confidence intervals and sample size
– Results had fewer than 25 adults identified during the survey and were suppressed
