USAID Community Engagement Project (CEP) Baseline Assessments  

The present report is a compilation of two baseline assessments and outlines findings for all 22 communities
assessed, in 2014 and 2015. The overall objective of both baseline assessments was to understand current levels
of community cohesion and resilience in the targeted communities at the early stages of USAID CEP
implementation, and to identify factors of cohesion and resilience which are perceived to be important by
communities.
