Résumé	The Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) are nationally representative household surveys that provide standardised, internationally comparable data on population, health, and nutrition in low- and middle-income countries. Funded primarily by USAID and implemented through The DHS Program, they use model questionnaires, a complex multi-stage sample design, and a standardised wealth index to produce indicators of fertility, child and maternal mortality, family planning, child nutrition, and disease prevalence that drive health policy and programme monitoring worldwide.	A Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) survey is a structured, representative survey that measures what a target population knows about a topic, how it feels and believes about it, and what it actually does. Widely used in public health, water-sanitation-hygiene (WASH), family planning, and nutrition programming, KAP surveys provide the baseline and endline evidence for behaviour-change communication, identifying the gaps between knowledge and practice that interventions are meant to close.
