> It looks like WHO is trying to implement their own version of Resilience Capacity Zones, but they are calling it KAP . . .
>
> WHO, in collaboration with Zika response partners, has developed a Knowledge Attitude and Practices (KAP) survey resource pack as part of the Zika Strategic Response Framework. The resource pack is intended to be used by affected and at-risk countries, WHO, UN agencies and NGOs who plan to conduct KAP surveys in a community setting with adult respondents. It provides a bank of key questions in the domains of knowledge, attitudes and practices. It is intended that partners will identify key areas for investigation according to their operational priorities, select the most relevant questions and update them to reflect national and sub-national contexts. WHO will also coordinate the mapping of operational research on community perceptions and needs as results from the KAP surveys become available. The resource pack is currently available in English and it is being translated into Spanish and Portuguese.
