This toolkit is meant to facilitate the measurement of social capital and social cohesion in settings affected by fragility, conflict, migration and forced displacement. The toolkit is designed to measure the multiple underlying dimensions of each concept while also being easy to use by evaluators and researchers.  

The toolkit contains two core data collection tools:

1) a set of 15 survey questions that measure the relevant dimensions of social capital and social cohesion,

2) a qualitative contextualisation guide that can be used to adapt the survey module to a particular evaluation context.  

The whole toolkit presents these two data collection instruments along with additional materials that provide guidance for using these tools as part of a research project or programme evaluation.
