could not be interviewed for any reason, it was substituted by one of the random replacement households. Deviations from Sample Design As indicated, any household that was not interviewed as per the original listing and selection was replaced with a reserve household. Each EA had 4 households on reserve. A total of 522 households were replaced over the course of the survey. In addition, several EAs were swapped from their scheduled cyclic visit due to seasonal accessibility problems.

The primary reason given for replacement was the inability to positively identify the dwelling (or the selected dwelling was found uninhabited). Weighting In order for the estimates from each survey to be representative at the national level, it is necessary to apply sampling weights to the survey data. The weights for the sample households were calculated as the inverse of the overall probability of selection, taking into account each sampling stage. Given the nature of the sample design and the new listing of households, the weights vary by sample ZD. An Excel spreadsheet with all the sampling frame information for the sample ZDs was used for calculating the weights, which were then attached to the corresponding records in the survey data files.

This exercise began in June 2005. Three months were required to list the households in the EAs. -Vehicles were provided by DFID. They were transferred from another DFID project for use on the EICV. -A four week training of enumerators was held in Ruhengeri. Of 114 applicants 94 were selected. This included the 16 controllers and 78 enumerators. -Controllers were provided with a list of replacement households in the event of non-response. Four replacements were drawn for each cluster. These are identifiable in the data set as the end in multiples of 4. Households 4-8-12-16 indicate replacement households. Questionnaires The questionnaires that were used for the survey were largely adapted from the EICV-1. However there were some substantial changes in structure particularly for the employment section. The questionnaire was subject to revision through a series of consultative meetings held in October 2004. The questionnaires remain predominantly structured with pre-coded responses. It should be noted that some of the response categories have changed between the EICV-1 and EICV-2 requiring a series of recodes for comparability. The questionnaires were piloted in August 2005 and printed locally. Part A was color coded with a green cover and Part B was color coded with a pink cover.
