Sampling
Sampling Procedure
A two-stage sampling strategy was used. In the first stage, the frame was divided into 7 strata and representative samples of Urban and Rural Enumeration Areas were then selected from these strata.
Within each stratum Enumeration Areas (EAs) or Primary Sampling Unit (PSU) from the frame were selected with probability proportional to size, measured in terms of the total households in the frame. Within each EA a fixed number of households (hh) were then selected by systematic random sampling. The final HIES sample then selected 10 households from each selected EA.

Weighting
The household weight for all the households in each selected EA was calculated as:
((Population of Stratum i) * (Listing number of households in EA)) / ((Frame population of EA) * (No of hh in sample) * (Number of EAs selected in stratum))
((Population of Stratum i) * (Listing number of households in EA)) / ((Frame population of EA) * (No of hh in sample) * (Number of EAs selected in stratum))
