Interviewer instructions
Question 9:- What is [the respondent's] Ethnic Group?
By asking the types of Ethnic group of each member of the household, the appropriate code taken from the list of Ethnic Group should be recorded in the boxes provided and this code should be appropriately shaded. If the respondent could not tell his Ethnic Group, by confusing the meaning of Ethnic Group, additional explanation about ethnic group should be given, by saying "what is your race, origin, clan, tribe?." To identify the names and codes of Ethnic Groups easily, two lists, that is, "Names and codes of the main Ethnic Group list" and "the list for names and codes of the branch Ethnic Group" are given in pages 53 to 56. Based on this the recording of the codes of Ethnic group will be as follows.
The code of the Ethnic Group responded by the respondent should be recorded in the boxes provided and this code should be appropriately shaded. If there are people who do not want to tell their Ethnic Group, try to get the appropriate answer by asking the people politely as for as possible.
The appropriate code of the Ethnic Group responded by the respondent should be recorded in the boxes provided by referring the code from the list of the main Ethnic Groups and this code should be appropriately shaded. If it is difficult to obtain the code of the Ethnic Group from this list, it is possible to find the code of the Ethnic Group from the "list of names and codes of branch Ethnic Groups"
The respondent's response may be the main or the branch of Ethnic Group. If the response is the main Ethnic Group, the code of the main Ethnic Group will be recorded, and if the response is branch of the Ethnic Group, the code of the main Ethnic Group should be recorded by identifying which is its main/stem Ethnic Group. For example, If the response of the respondent is "Saynte", code "05" will be recorded in the space provided because the stem of "Saynte" is ''Amara'', and the code for Amahara Ethnic Group is "05". In the same thing, if the response of the respondent is "Cheha", code "36" should be recorded in the boxes provided because the stem of "Cheha" is "Gurage", and this code should be appropriately shaded.
A. List of names and codes of the main Ethnic Groups
Based on the main Ethnic Groups, all Ethnic Groups are listed in the list provided. The related names and branches of the main Ethnic Group are given in bracket because they are given one and the same code. For example, "Gondere", "Tegulete", "Saynte", "Menze" are listed in bracket under the main Ethnic Group "Amhara" which is written outside the bracket because these Ethnic Groups are the branches of "Amhara" Ethnic Group. To identity easily from the list, the main /stem Ethnic Groups are listed in alphabetical order.
B. List of names and codes of branch Ethnic Groups
This list is prepared to list down alphabetically all the related or branches of the main Ethnic Group listed in bracket (for example, "Erbore", "Ulde", "Mursie") under "the list of names and codes of the main Ethnics group''. The main Ethnic Groups (for example, "Afar", "Welayta") written outside the bracket alphabetically in the list of names and codes of the main Ethnic Groups are not listed again in this list.
If any other Ethnic Group is mentioned by the respondents out of the list of the Ethnic Group given, code "91" the code for "other Ethiopian Ethnic Groups" should be recorded in the space provided and this code should be appropriately shaded.
Persons who are born from parents of different Ethiopian Ethnic Groups or from Ethiopian and foreign citizens, and if their ages are 18 years and above, the code of the Ethnic Groups they choose should be recorded in the space provided. If they are below 18 years old, the codes of the Ethnic Groups that will be chosen by their parents should be recorded in the space provided and these codes should be shaded.
Person who were born from parents of different Ethiopian Ethnic Groups and if he/she does not want to tell ethnic group of either of his/her parents, code "92", the code for "person born from different ethnic group" should be recorded and shaded appropriately. But if he/she is voluntary to tell either of his/her parents Ethnic groups, the appropriate code should be recorded and shaded.
Code "93" should be recorded in the space provide and shaded for all Eritrean and code "94" should be given for Djiboutian. Code "95" should be recorded for citizens of Somalia. But for Ethiopian Somalis, code "77" should be recorded. Code "96" for Sudanese and code "98" for other foreign Africans should be recorded and shaded.
