Integrated Survey (non-LSMS) [hh/is]
The Integrated Household Budget Survey (IHBS) 2005-2006 is the third in a series since 1994.
The Kenya Integrated Household Budget Survey (IHBS) 2005-2006, was designed to capture data that would be used to update poverty, welfare statistics and employment statistics, derive the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and revise the national accounts information.
IHBS also aimed at providing data on socio-economic aspects of the Kenyan population including education, health, energy, housing, water and sanitation. This data is critical to the government and private sector for the purpose of guiding investment and national development policy decisions. The survey was carried out by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) with technical and financial assistance from the Department for International Development (DfID), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the European Union (EU), the Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA), The World Bank and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).
The survey covered all the 70 districts including rural and urban clusters with data being collected from all arid and semi-arid areas for the first time in a decade. All surveyed households were captured using the Geographical Positioning System (GPS) which made it possible to identify the precise geographical location of households. The survey was conducted over a period of 12 months, which covers all possible seasons, as in contrast to previous surveys where the longest survey conducted by the Bureau was for three (3) months.

Sampling
The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) has established the National Sample Survey and Evaluation Program (NASSEP IV) sampling frame based on the 1999 Population and Housing Census (PHC). The sample design of the IHBS 2005-06 is based on this frame. The survey drew a sample of clusters from the set of 540 urban clusters and the 1,260 rural clusters under NASSEP IV sampling frame.
The IHBS 2005-06 covered a total of 1,343 clusters with a total sample of 13,430 households, stratified by district and by urban/rural. In the first stage, using the KNBS Master Sample (NASSEP IV), 1,343 clusters were selected with equal probability within a district. In the second stage, 10 households were selected with equal probability in each cluster.
A total sample of 13,430 households (10 households in each of 1,430 Primary Sampling Units (PSU) were allocated into 136 explicit strata (the urban and rural sections of each of Kenya's 69 districts, except in Nairobi and Mombasa, which are wholly urban). The 1,343 clusters required by the IHBS were selected from the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) 1,800-cluster master sample. This selection was done with equal probability within each stratum, except for the six districts that contain urban areas qualified as municipalities. In these districts, the urban part of the sample was further stratified into six groups (five socio-economic classes in the municipality itself and other urban areas in the district).
From the design sample of 1,343 clusters, only 1,339 clusters were covered the remaining 4 clusters were not covered due to inaccessibility and security issues.

Calculation of weights
The probability P of selecting a KIHBS household is therefore P = P1 P2 P3* P4 (the product of four factors that represent):
[1] the probability of selecting the EA for the master sample, among all the 1999 Census EAs;
[2] the probability of selecting the segment, among all segments in the EA;
[3] the probability of selecting the cluster for the KIHBS, among all clusters in the master sample; and
[4] the probability of selecting the household, among all households in the cluster.
The Master Sample EAs were originally selected with probability proportional to size (pps,) using as a measure of size the expected number of 100-household segments in the EA. The actual number of segments created during the master sample field operations may have been different from the expected number. The weights are computed as the inverse of the selection probabilities.
Survey instrument
The following questionnaires were administered during the survey:
- Household Questionnaire
- Community Questionnaire
- Diary Questionnaire

In order to ensure quality control of the data collected, a team of CBS staff, designated as coordinators, visited the field teams once every cycle for at least six days.
This helped to ensure the field teams were adhering to instructions they received during the training programme and contained in the KIHBS interviewer manual. It also contributed in building first-hand knowledge of the clusters and field collection conditions among the CBS staff, which is critical at the analysis stage. The CBS staff who contributed to this report are intimately familiar with the data.
The coordinators were also responsible for ensuring that focus group discussions were held with the assistance of the District Statistical Officers (DSOs); the latter were instrumental in ensuring that teams were clear on their cluster boundaries. They were also responsible for providing any required logistical support to the team on the ground.
Data processing
Data editing took place at the data collection in the field including:
- During data entry in the field
- Structure checking and completeness
- Structural checking of SPSS data files
