Interviewer instructions
133. <span class="em">Columns E1 - E7: Agriculture and land acquisition, and household cash activities</span></p>

<p>For some of these questions (e.g. for those whose codes are multiples of 2) you may circle more than one code, if more than one response applies.</p>

<p>These questions relate only to members of the household - i.e. those listed in Parts A and B but excluding any visitors listed in Part A. Include also household members who normally would have spent the census night with the household but who were temporarily elsewhere in Botswana. For example, the usual head of household could be away on business during the census period, but he might be the only income earner for the household. Since he was not present in the household during the census, his employment would not be recorded in Part A and it would appear that the household had no source of income. However, the fact that the household receives income from his employment will be recorded in E5, E6 and E7.</p>

<p>Note that questions in Part E of the questionnaire should relate only to activities within Botswana. For example, if a household member who is temporarily living in another country (and is therefore listed in Part B), has planted maize outside Botswana, that agricultural activity will not be recorded in column E2. If the same person owns cattle inside Botswana, then that ownership will be recorded in column E1.</p>

<p>The relevant portion of the sample questionnaire is shown on page 57:</p>

<p>136. <span class="em">Column E4: Land acquisition</span></p>

<p><span class="em">Q: How was the land for planting obtained?</span></p>

<p>If a member of the household planted anything, then ask how the land for planting was obtained. Circle the appropriate answer code(s):</p>
<div class="i1">[] 1 Landboard<br />[] 2 Tribal/communal<br />[] 4 Inheritance<br />[] 8 Freehold (land held in absolute ownership)<br />[] 16 Lease/TGLP (land held in ownership for a specified period of time)<br />[] 32 Syndicate<br />[] 64 Employer/relative<br />[] 128 Self-allocated</div><p>If none of the above applies enter 0 in the space below the codes, but not in the shaded area.
