Abstract
The Botswana Core Welfare Indicators Survey was designed as an improvement of the Household Income and Expenditure Surveys (HIES). HIES were conducted in 1985/86, 1993/94 and 2002/03, to provide data on household incomes and expenditures, and Poverty Datum Lines (PDL) which are income poverty indicators.
The objective of the survey was to provide comprehensive data and update information on incomes, expenditure, poverty datum line and other household characteristics needed for socio-economic planning, monitoring and evaluation purposes. The survey's objective was also to determine household consumption and expenditure patterns in order to revise the weights and basket for the consumer price index (CPI). Poverty Datum Line (PDL) is the cost of a basket of goods and services deemed to be necessary and adequate to meet basic needs for household members. The basic needs refer to basic requirements for food, clothing, personal items, household goods and services and shelter.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The Sampling frame was defined and constituted by all Enumeration Areas (EAs) found in three geographical regions viz. (i) Cities & Towns (ii) Urban Villages2, and (iii) Rural Areas as defined by the 2001 Population and Housing Census. The sampling frame for BCWIS consisted of 4,114 EAs. During the 2001 Census, EAs were framed to manageable size (in terms of dwellings/households), so the primary sampling units (PSUs) were EAs. A list of occupied households in the selected EAs served as sampling frame for that EA such that the secondary sampling units (SSUs) were occupied households. Being a two-stage design, two frames were required, one for each stage. The sampling frame for the first stage was based on the 2001 Population and Housing Census. The sampling frame for the second stage was produced only from the selected EAs by listing of all private habitable dwellings/households in their EAs. Thus the number of occupied households in the selected EA served as a sampling frame for that EA.
