Interviewer instructions

Column 3: Number of households
This column will be completed after the interview in the structure. You will fill in the number of households living in the structure concerned. There are two types of households:
- Private households
- Collective households.

A private household comprises either one person who provides his own essential needs or a group of related or unrelated persons who join together to provide their essential needs. Such a group therefore recognizes the authority of one person: the head of the household.

A collective household is a group of persons who live in camps, institutions or boarding schools. They therefore fall under one of the following categories:

- Servicemen, policemen and gendarmes living in camps or barracks without their families
- Boarders in high schools, colleges and other institutions of learning
- Prisoners;
- Persons living in hotels, boarding houses or hostels ;
- Patients living in hospitals and other health establishments for more than 6 months
- Workers living in worksites without their families: members of religious communities living in convents or in boarding houses
