Definition & calculation
Numerator: Number of surveyed households that correctly identify the agreed safe construction/maintenance practices after receiving technical support or training
Denominator: Total number of surveyed households that received technical support or training
Respondents are scored against a defined set of key safe-construction practices; those meeting the knowledge threshold are divided by all trained respondents.
Formula: (Numerator ÷ Denominator) × 100
Means of verification
KAP survey; training pre/post tests; post-distribution monitoring
Interpretation
Direction: Higher is better
Typical reporting frequency: Baseline, midline and endline (or annual)
Guidance & common pitfalls
Where feasible use a pre/post design to attribute change; ensure the practice checklist reflects locally relevant hazards (seismic, flood, wind). Measures demonstrated knowledge, not self-reported confidence.
