Interviewer instructions
<span class="h3">H1 Fuel for lighting</span></p>

<p>The proportion of households with access to electricity can provide planners useful indication of areas where community lighting needs to be extended. Data on types of fuel can be analyzed to forecast future demands for various sources of energy and hence plan for power installations.
<br />Cross out the circle opposite the category which corresponds to the fuel used by the household for its lighting facility. If the household is using electricity, mark the circle for this item even if it is not used most of the time. If two or more types of lighting are used, except electricity, e.g., kerosene and oil, oil and candles, etc., report the type of lighting which is used most of the time.</p>

<p>Cross out the circle, therefore, of the category corresponding to the type of lighting used more often than the other. The types of fuel for lighting and their codes are as follows:</p>
<div class="i1">[] 1 Electricity<br />[] 2 Kerosene (gas)<br />[] 3 Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)<br />[] 4 Oil (vegetable, animal, etc.)<br />[] 5 Others, specify</div><p>If the household uses a generator, report the fuel being used to run the generator.</p>

<p>Refer to Illustration 8.4 for the different types of fuel for lighting.</p>

<p><svar a="all" v="PH00A033 PH00A034"><span class="h3">H2 Fuel for cooking</span><br /><br />The information on fuel for cooking is relevant in assessing energy planning decisions, energy conservation programs and in developing marketing strategies. It also serves as a benchmark for the study of changes in household energy used and user patterns over time. It is also useful in monitoring supply and demand requirements for alternative fuels.<br /><br />The question in H2 asks for the kind of fuel the household users most of the time for cooking. Mark the corresponding circle for the appropriate item. If two or more kinds of cooking fuel are used, e.g., electricity and LPG; LPG and wood; kerosene and charcoal; etc., report the fuel which is used most of the time for cooking.<br /><br /><div class="i1">[] 1 Electricity<br />[] 2 Kerosene (gas)<br />[] 3 Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)<br />[] 4 Charcoal<br />[] 5 Wood<br />[] 6 Others, specify<br />[] 7 None</div><br /><br />For power from generators, report the fuel used to run the generator. See illustration 8.5 for the different kinds of fuel for cooking.<br /></svar>
