4.7 METHODOLOGY
Sample Size
From a total population of refugees, a total sample size will be 10,000 refugees. This choice
is based on the assumption that the number of 10,000 refugees is reasonable in qualitative
research to generate the necessary data to understand the phenomenon in a case study. This
section of the sample size will be used because it will help the researchers minimize
resources such as time, money in addition to other requirements.
Sampling Techniques
In order to get better results, simple random will be used. Local leaders and community
members will be simple randomly selected because they have much information about the
study problem. These techniques will be used to assist the researchers to avoid bias in
selecting such respondents to participate in the study since they are many, and this will give
each of them a chance to participate in the study.
Data Collection Methods
Data will be primary. Primary data will be collected by the use of questionnaires, interviews,
focus group discussions and observation.
 Questionnaire Survey
The study will employ a questionnaire as a research instruments for data collection. The use of
self-administered questionnaires to collect qualitative data will be justifiable on the account
that they the general acceptable instrument for qualitative data collection. Questionnaire
provides afresh and for the first time thus will happen to be original in character.
 Interview Survey
Personal interviews generally in a face to face contact or conversation using structured
questions will be used by the researchers in collecting primary data from community
members because these categories of refugees are always busy with limited or no time to fill
a questionnaire.

6. Research Instruments
The study will use different research instruments and these will include questionnaire and
interview guide. The study will be guided by the following research instruments:-
 Questionnaires
A questionnaire is a collection of questions based on the subject of interest to the researcher
and completed by respondents. A questionnaire will be a semi – structured, it will include both
open and ended questions for people to fill.
 Interview Guide
Personal interviews generally in a face to face contact or conversation using structured
questions will be used by the researchers in collecting primary data from community
members because these categories of respondents are always busy with limited or no time to
fill a questionnaire.
Research Procedure
Certain ethical considerations will be considered, first an introductory letter will be obtained
from Bishop Stuart University and presented to officials of Nakivale camp for necessary
assistance. Later researchers will introduce themselves and ask for permission to carry out
research in wards. After permission is granted, the researchers will first test for validity and
reliability of instruments, and thereafter they will be able to collect data from the chosen
refugees according to the agreed time schedule.
