Other Household Survey
The World Bank, with the support of the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), has launched the Global Survey on Energy Access, which relies on the Multi-Tier Framework (MTF) approach. The first phase is being carried out in 17 countries across Latin America, Africa, and Asia. The survey's objective is to provide more nuanced data on energy access, including access to electricity and cooking solutions. The MTF approach goes beyond the traditional binary measurement of energy access-for example, "having or not having" a connection to electricity, and "using or not using" clean fuels in cooking - to capture the multidimensional nature of energy access and the vast range of technologies and sources that can provide energy access, while accounting for the large differences in user experiences. The MTF survey provides detailed household energy data for governments, development partners, the private sector, non-governmental organizations, investors, and service providers.
The World Bank, with the support of the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), has launched the Global Survey on Energy Access, which relies on the Multi-Tier Framework (MTF) approach. The Global Survey on Energy Access using the Multi-Tier Framework approach in Nepal 2017 has as its primary objectives:
- To measure household access to electricity based on the following seven attributes: capacity, availability, reliability, quality, affordability, formality, and health and safety.
- To measure household access to modern energy cooking solutions based on the following six attributes: cooking exposure, cookstove efficiency, convenience, affordability, health and safety of primary cookstove, and fuel availability.
- To provide detailed household energy data, including data on all energy sources each household uses with details on each MTF attribute; energy-related spending; energy use; user preferences; willingness to pay for grid, off-grid, and cooking solutions; and the satisfaction of customers with their primary energy source, for governments, development partners, the private sector, non-governmental organizations, investors, and service providers.
- To provide disaggregated data by urban or rural location, by economic quintile, and by the gender of the household head.

Sampling
The sample design for the Multi-Tier Framework for Measuring Energy Access conducted in Nepal (2017) was based on a two-stage stratification, aimed at being representative of the country at large. At the first stage, the enumeration areas wards were selected randomly from each of the newly formed provinces to be representative of urban and rural areas and the distinct ecological regions in Nepal (the Mountains, Hills, and Terai). The number of wards selected from each province was roughly in proportion to the province size (that is, the number of wards in a province). All in all, 400 wards were selected nationwide. The field teams visited each selected ward, and the enumerators compiled a list of the households in the ward to obtain an updated version of the total number of households in each ward and their grid-electrification status. In the second stage, 15 households were selected for interviews from the list for each ward. The criterion for selection of households was that a ratio of 50:50 grid-connected and non-grid households needed to be maintained, following the standard sampling methodology for the national household surveys of the MTF for Energy Access.
The MTF global survey has a benchmark of 3,500 households for a national-level survey, with a 50:50 distribution of urban and rural areas and 50:50 distribution of grid and non-grid households, if possible. Based on the needs of project teams within the World Bank, some additional areas were selected for oversampling to better understand the use of various cooking solutions. However, the oversample did not specifically target areas with existing programs on clean or improved stove distribution; instead larger administrative regions were selected to be included. With oversampling, the Nepal MTF survey covered a total of 6,000 households. The allocation aimed at generating a sample large enough to produce estimates by province, ecological region, rural and urban areas, and grid connection status. For rural and urban areas, the sample was drawn from all seven provinces and the three geographic areas (Mountain, Hill and Terai). The Hill region was further divided into two groups Kathmandu region and the rest of the Hill area to highlight the findings from the national capital area.
At the time of the sample selection, the grid connection (electrification) status of wards was not available. The distribution was estimated based on the results from recent surveys, such as the 2013/14 Nepal household survey, which shows the share of households with electricity as their main source of light to be 72.9% in rural areas and 97.2% in urban areas. Because of the overwhelmingly large share of the grid households, both in urban and rural areas, it was not possible to maintain the planned 50:50 distribution of grid-connected and non-grid households in the sample. Accordingly, it was decided that the allocation of grid and non-grid households would be 10 and 5, respectively, in rural enumeration areas, and 13 and 2, respectively in urban enumeration areas.
Overall, 4,660 grid-connected and 1,340 non-grid households were sampled for the survey.
Sample weights for the household data were computed as the inverse of the probability of selection of the household. The weights were adjusted for non-response households.
