Household surveys, a description of household and micro data surveys

The material on the following pages provides information relative to some of these surveys as a convenient reference for the use of AID Missions, researchers, analysts and other interested persons. The nature of the collaboration and the context within which the surveys were carried out varies. For example, some surveys were associated with a program to develop a computer center to which AID provided commodity support. In other cases the survey served a basic data need and was carried out to fulfill that need. The range of programs involving surveys and also involving some kind of AID input included the establishment of demographic centers, participant training in statistical programs, and technical assistance to LDC experts in system design and sampling techniques.
