Chapter 1: Introduction
Over the last few decades, Nigeria has experienced substantial gaps in producing adequate and
timely data to inform policy making. In particular, the country is lagging behind in the
production of sufficient and accurate agricultural production statistics. Except for the
Harmonized National Living Standard Survey (HNLSS) which covers multiple topics in a single
survey, all other household and farm surveys conducted by the NBS which also cover a wide
range of sectors, do so in separate surveys ,none of which is conducted as a panel. As part of the
efforts to continue to improve data collection and usability, the NBS plans to streamline two of
its current surveys into one panel survey that covers multiple sectors with a focus to improve
data from the agriculture sector. In 2010, the NBS implemented the post-planting round of the
first wave of the Nigerian General Household Panel Survey (NGHPS). The post-harvest round of
the first wave of the survey was conducted between February and April 2011. The post-planting
round of the second wave was conducted between September and November 2012; and the
post-harvest round is planned for February to April 2013. By design, this survey is integrated
fully into the current General Household Survey (GHS).
Focused on the goal of improving agricultural statistics, the World Bank, through funding from
the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), will support seven countries in Sub-Saharan
Africa in strengthening the production of household-level data on agriculture. The over-arching
objective of the LSMS-ISA program is to improve our understanding of agriculture in SubSaharan Africa – specifically, its role in poverty reduction, and how innovation and efficiency can
be fostered in the sector. This goal will be achieved by developing and implementing an
innovative model for collecting agricultural data in the region.
Objectives
To allow welfare levels to be produced at the state level using small area estimation
techniques resulting in state-level poverty figures
To create opportunities to conduct more comprehensive analysis of poverty indicators
and socio-economic characteristics by integrating the longitudinal panel survey with GHS
To support the development and implementation of a Computer Assisted Personal
Interview (CAPI) application for the paperless collection of GHS
To develop an innovating model for collecting agricultural data
To build capacity and develop sustainable systems for producing accurate and timely
information on agricultural households in Nigeria.
To actively disseminate agriculture statistics
Coverage
The survey will cover all the 36 states and Federal Capital Territory (FCT)
Both urban and rural enumeration areas (EAs) will be canvassed
6
Scope
The survey will cover a wide range of socio-economic topics which are highlighted in three
different questionnaires to be used for data collection. These are Household Questionnaire,
Agricultural Questionnaire and Community/Prices Questionnaire.
1. The post-harvest household questionnaire will be used to collect information on:
Household identification
Household member roster, demographic and migration

Information and Communication Technology
Remittances
Household Asset Sale and Acquisition
Housing
Non-Farm Enterprises and Income Generating Activities
Consumption of Food (recall)
Non-food Consumption Expenditure
Food security
Other Household Income
Safety Nets, Economic Shocks and Deaths
2. The post-harvest agriculture questionnaire will be used to collect information on:
Productivity of main crops, with emphasis on improved measures of:
Quantification of production
Plot size
Production stocks (pest, etc)
Land Holdings
Size and tenure/ titling
Transaction
Access to and use of services, infrastructure and natural resources
Agricultural Extension Services
Infrastructure (including roads)
Credit ( both for agriculture and other purposes)

Chapter 2: Sample Design and Organization of Field Activities
Sample Design
The 2006 Housing and Population Census conducted by National Population Commission
(NpopC) was used in preparation of the National Integrated Survey of Households (NISH) –
2007/2013 Master Sample Frame (MSF). The NISH sample frame was used to select the sample
of EAs from which the Panel households were selected in 2010.
Specifically, the Panel sample design derives from the sample frames which were selected as
explained below.
1. Selection of the NISH Master Sample Frame:
-
30 master sample EAs in each LGA for that state are selected and pooled together
-
Hence, the total number of EAs in each state is equal to 30 times the number of the
LGAs in the state except in FCT, Abuja where 40 EAs per LGA was selected.
-
A systematic sample of 200 sample EAs were selected with equal probability in each
state
-
The NISH EAs in each state were then divided into 20 replicates of 10 EAs each
2. Selection of the GHS Sample:
-
The sample EAs for the GHS are based on a subsample of the NISH master sample,
selected as a combination of replicates from the NISH frame.
-
A total of six (6) NISH replicates with 60 EAs for each state are identified in the frame
with NISH RIC 10 to 15
-
At the second sampling stage, 10 households are selected in each sample EA for the
GHS systematically
-
The GHS is designed to have a 50% rotation of the replicates of sample EAs each
year, providing a 50% overlap in the sample from one year to the next
This sample rotation scheme serves to improve the estimates of trend over time when
comparing the GHS results from one year to the next. However, there is no overlap in the
sample EAs for GHS rounds of two (2) years apart.
GHS-Panel households were selected using the following methodology:
o Selection of a subsample of EAs and households that are included in GHS 2010/2011
by:
selecting GHS 500 EAs nationwide with the following allocation per zone

Distribution of EAs (at the state level) within each zone based probability
proportional to size
Selection of 10 GHS households from each EA.
One limitation of the panel sample of households is that it suffers from attrition over time as
some households move, split or cease to exist. There is, however, a household tracking system
that has been put in place to follow the households that move or split in order to reduce the
level of attrition and measure the characteristics of these households.
Pilot Test
The pilot was conducted as follows:
A total of two (2) states were covered
One (1) state from southern and northern Nigeria was randomly selected
States selected were Ondo (South) and Benue (North)
four (4) EAs was selected two (2) urban, two (2) rural
minimum of six (6) HHs were studied in each EA
Two (2) levels of training were adopted, that is training of trainers (TOT) for
headquarters staff and state training for the field personnel
The 1st and 2nd level training both lasted for 2 days each days
A team comprising of two (2) monitors, 1 supervisor and 2 interviewers carried data
collection in each of the selected state
Data collection lasted for 10 days
The Main Survey
500 EAs will be canvassed throughout the Federation and FCT, Abuja
Ten (10) HHs will be studied in each EA, making a total of 5000HHs to be interviewed
nationally
Number of EAs and HHs to be covered varies from state to state
Survey Instruments
The survey instruments to be used are:
Household questionnaire
Agricultural questionnaire
Community/Prices questionnaire
Interviewer and Supervisor Instruction Manuals
EA line Maps and selected HH lists
Handheld GPS Navigator
10
Measuring boards
Digital scales
Laptop and Printer

He /she will coordinate the forwarding of all completed questionnaires, softcopy records,
laptops and printers to the NBS Headquarters in Abuja.
DATA CLEANING, PROCESSING AND FINALISATION
Data cleaning and processing will be an ongoing operation while the data is being collected in
the field and after. Field staff and data entry operators will be required to respond to data
quality enquires from HQ. There will also be a joint review of the data by HQ and field staff to
ensure that the data collected is of the highest quality. The work of field staff (including data
entry operators) will be completed only when the data has been signed-off as being satisfactory
by the HQ.

To insert occupation and other codes after the interview, as instructed in this manual
To complete given assignment on a daily basis and to hand over to the supervisor all
filled questionnaires with information obtained properly recorded, every day.
To perform all scheduled interviews at the time they are planned. Where it is not
possible to interview any of the selected households, the interviewer should inform
his/her supervisor, who will take the decision on necessary changes in accordance with
appropriate procedures.
Remember that the interviewer is not allowed to select the replacement household for
interview.
Activities that are NOT Allowed
The work of the interviewer cannot be transferred to anybody else. In other words, no
one else can do the interviewer’s work.
No one involved in the survey (interviewer, supervisor, data entry operator) can be
engaged in any other job during the survey. Work on the survey is a full-time job
throughout the duration of the survey.
The interviewer is not allowed to amend any information obtained from the respondent.
The interviewer must not disclose, repeat or comment on any information obtained
from the respondent, nor did show complete questionnaire to any other person but his
16
/her supervisor or other project staff. Remember that information given by the
respondent is confidential.
Do not bring anybody who is not a work team member to any interviews with
respondents.
Do not pressure respondents nor entice them to answer by making false promises or
offers.
All collected information must be handed over to the supervisor without any
amendments such as changing, adding (except in the case of occupation and other
codes) or erasing information.
Material for the Interviews
Documents and material, which the interviewer needs for his/work, is given to him/her by the
supervisor at the beginning of the field work. It includes:
ID card provided by the National Bureau of Statistics
A map of the area where interviews will take place.
List and addresses of households to be interviewed.
GHS Panel Survey questionnaires
Interviewer Instruction Manual
Auxiliary forms
Stationary needed for work.
Maps
Before starting household interviews, the interviewer should, together with his/her supervisor,
familiarize him/herself with selected enumeration areas and exact location of the selected
households. To that end, the interviewer should study maps of all enumeration areas together
with the list of households.
The interviewer should understand the distribution of the sample (selected households), how
they are located in relation to each other and the roads and paths that will have to be used in
order to be able to plan his/her work.
Flow of material and reports
The interviewer would hand over to his/her supervisor properly filled questionnaires and
detailed report, in the required format, on completed field work, which would include:
Summary results of conducted interviews: number of completed questionnaires, list of
households which could not be located, or which have partly or completely refused (and
at which stage) cooperation. This report should include number of replacements
approved by the supervisor from the list of replacements.
Any issue or problem faced in the field, e.g. in terms of maps, household identification,
incomplete questionnaires, respondents behavior and opinion, scheduled subsequent
visits, absent household members, etc. in order to resolve problems in the field.
Any other observation that the interviewer thinks the supervisor should be informed
about in order to successfully complete the work.
The report is to be produced in the forms designed for this purpose, see Appendix 4.

Chapter 3: General Survey Procedures
Interviews of the Household
The interviewer must follow all the instructions as laid out in this manual
Concurrent Data Entry of Questionnaires
The data entry operation will be part of the general field work activities. The field team in each
state will be made up a field supervisor, interviewers and a data entry operator. The data entry
person will be provided with a laptop computer and printer, and will be available to enter the
questionnaires each day as they are returned. Ideally the data entry person will be located at a
place where it will be convenient for the delivery of most of the questionnaires as the
interviewers move across the state. This might include being based at the state NBS office at
some stage of the field work operations.
In the concurrent data entry method, whenever data is received from a household, complete or
not, the questionnaire involved should be submitted to the data entry person for entry. The
data entry program will be designed to provide an error report based on the entered
questionnaire. This report will include discrepancies such as inconsistencies, incomplete
households or sections and out-of-range values. The data entry system will also produce a
report which will show where there is satisfactory completion of a questionnaire.
Interviewers will receive a report along with the questionnaires that have been entered and
returned each day and this will be used to guide the interviewer action for that day. The error
reports will be given to the team supervisor who will review and approve the work that has to
be done before passing it on to the interviewer. The supervisor will have the facility to override
errors indicated on the report where these have been examined and certified as valid entries by
the supervisor.
Editing of Questionnaires
This model of concurrent data entry does not include a person dedicated to the responsibilities
of editing and coding of questionnaires. Several questions will need to be coded by the
interviewer before handing the questionnaire to the supervisor. For example, in Section 3 of the
Household Questionnaire, questions 13 and 25 require that occupation information be given in
descriptive terms. These descriptions will need to be coded into the standard occupation
classification codes before the questionnaire is delivered to the data entry operator for entry.
This coding must be done by the interviewer. At the time of the interview, the interviewer will
write-in the description of the respondent’s occupation and, immediately after the interview,
insert the appropriate code for that occupation from a listing that will be provided to each
interviewer. The supervisor double-check the code entry made by the interviewer and will
generally include the occupation code as a check when reviewing the error report with the
questionnaire.
How to Use the Flaps
There is one flap in the Household Questionnaire. After the cover has been completed, the next
step is to open Flap A. All the information on this flap should be completed for the household.
The row where a person’s name is placed on the flap will be the row in which all the information
18
about that person will be given in sections 1 to 6. The flap is kept open so that the row that
corresponds to the person will always be visible.

How to Read the Questions
Each question should be read clearly and exactly as presented in the questionnaire. You should
make sure that the way the question is read preserves the sense of the English question, rather
than a word by word translation. If you have questions about how to phrase a question, you
should ask your supervisor and refer to your notes from the training where the phrasing of
questions in local language will be discussed in detail. After reading the question, time should
be allowed for the respondent to answer. If it appears the respondent did not hear the
question, it should be read again and time allowed for a response. In cases where there has to
be translation, the question should be translated as literally as possible.
Upper and Lower Case Texts (Capital letters and Small letters)
Text written in upper case (capital) letters are instructions to the interviewer and should not be
read to the respondent. Other text that you will see written with upper case letters are lists and
codes. These also should NOT be read to the respondent.
Text written in lower case (small) letters SHOULD be read directly to the respondent.
For example, in Question 9 (see Figure 2 below), you should read: “In what year did you get
married to your current spouse”. You should not read the text below that because it is written
with upper case (capital) letters. The text in upper case letters is an instruction to you.

Figure 3
Data Collection Strategy
Different number of visits: the questionnaire modules can be filled during one or more visits,
depending on the level of cooperation from the household, household size, time and availability
of direct respondent at the time of interview.
Where certain household members are not at home, the interviewer should schedule another
visit to the same household when that person is expected to be at home and available for
interview. That other visit should be scheduled during the period when it is envisaged that the
interviewer would be in that area.
Direct Respondent Interviews: In this survey, unlike many other surveys, we collect data
directly from the respondents. This is in contrast to surveys where the head of household or
his/her spouse are the only respondents who answers on behalf of all household members.
Instead, in the GHS Panel Survey, each person 5 years and above should respond directly to the
interviewer for him/herself. For children under 5, a parent or care giver is respondent. The only
exception to the age limit rule is where there are other respondent age restrictions as indicated
in the various sections of the questionnaire.
In some cases a household member may be away from home during the whole period when the
interviewer is in that area, or the member might be in poor health/disability and cannot answer
the questions for him/herself. It might also be that the individual is not allowed to answer. In
such cases, the interviewer can ask the most knowledgeable person to answer instead of
household member that is unavailable.
In order to collect information directly from each household member, interviewers should visit
the household as many times as necessary to get information from each individual member.
Compliance with these procedures would ensure quality, reliability and accuracy of collected
and entered questionnaire data.
1. Data entry and correction of inconsistencies: Immediately after each visit, data will
be entered and checked for consistency and completeness. Information would be
revealed on any inconsistency, error or omissions, and the supervisor would inform
the interviewer on all such corrections which are to be made on a return visit. This
system enables data correction by the ones who are most competent to do it: the
respondents who gave the original answers themselves.
20
2. Organization of work: In order to enable implementation of this methodology,
workload by interviewer per certain period of time is to be defined. The interviewer
is responsible to complete such work during the given time.
Keep in mind that the households to be interviewed could have different cultural background
and different reactions, attitudes and behavior in terms of the survey. The interviewer would
have to interact with households of different structure, social and economic status, different
level of education, employment status, habits, religion, etc. It means that the interviewer
should have to develop significant capability of understanding and communication in order to
be able to establish good relation with different persons, and that way to achieve success in
different situations which he/she could face during the survey, particularly difficult ones.
Besides the above mentioned, the interviewer must establish confidence with the respondent,
which would enable him/her to get reliable and positive survey results.
1. Access to information: The moment when the interviewer and respondent meet for the first
time is crucial for interview success. Thus, first impression is important, interviewer’s
appearance; his/her attitude at the very beginning and what he/she says is crucial for
further work. Interviewers should be properly and professionally dressed for their work.
Once selected households are located, the interviewer should ask to talk to the head of the
household or his/her spouse. He/she should kindly and in a friendly manner greet the
person and introduce him/herself. Then the interviewer should explain briefly and concisely
the purpose of the survey, importance of the project and the need for cooperation by all
household members in carrying out the GHS Panel Survey in Nigeria.
An example of how the interviewer could introduce him/herself, is as follows:
“Good morning/afternoon, I work for National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), which is
implementing General Household Panel Survey. Your cooperation and answers would be
extremely important since they reflect status of many of our citizens who live in similar
conditions. I would appreciate if you and your household members participated in this
survey, answering to a group of questions on different topics. We would ask for your
cooperation in providing information about your household and services you receive, as
well as about individual members of your household. We would also like information
about your expenditures on food, as well as your family’s enterprise and agricultural
activity.
It is important that the interviewer has a friendly attitude towards the respondent with selfconfidence. If the interviewer gives the impression of nervousness or insecurity, he/she would
not provide enough confidence to the respondent in order to obtain the necessary cooperation,
participation and attention.
The interviewer should always try to maintain the same mood throughout the interview: if the
respondent for any reason gets tired or disturbed, allow a few minutes break or offer to return
the following day or the next most convenient time.
2. Communication: Communication is to be established after the interviewer introduces
him/herself, explains that this survey is being implemented throughout the country, and
inform the respondent’s of the value of cooperation for those who would analyze options
for addressing existing problems in the country, until the interviewer becomes ready to start
filling the questionnaire. During this short period, the interviewer must explain the purposes
of the survey, and emphasize that collected data are confidential. The latter is crucial to
avoid any fear of misuse of the answers given. All data would be used for statistical
purposes, and the data which identify in any way any person or any household would not be
used.
21
Keep in mind that at the beginning of the interview, level of attention, communication,
confidence, participation and data provision is low. Interviewer’s task is to gradually
increase the respondent’s attention and interest and to maintain it at the highest possible
level throughout the interview. Rhythm of the survey, tone of questions, adequate speed in
question formulation, dynamics of the interview itself, knowledge about the questions and
their order are all factors that determine success of the interview. If the interviewer reads
questions with monotonous or nervous voice, or without any rhythm, the obtained
information are likely to be of poor quality and the respondent would not be interested to
answer.
The interviewer should not give the impression that he/she considers him/herself an
important person because of the assignment he/she performs on behalf of the government
institution. He/she should be open, friendly and decisive and show that he/she is an
experienced professional person. He/she should not be authoritative or aggressive. Best
communication can be established when the respondent sees that the interviewer is honest
and up to his/her task.
3. The Interview: When the interview starts, try to comply continuously with the following
instructions:
Plan sufficient time for the interview,
Behave appropriately throughout the interview,
Do not give any information about which we are not sure, it is better to seem
uninformed, but honest. To avoid any conversation or attitude which could lead to a
discussion or argument with the respondent. Limit the conversation to the survey topics
only.
Give neither promises nor offer anything as an incentive for the respondent to
participate in the survey,
To the extent possible, try to avoid conducting the interview in the presence of a person
who is not a household member; the respondent could give different answers in the
presence of another person,
Do not show surprise by any answer given by the respondent, either by the tone of your
voice or action.
Comply strictly with the order and format in asking questions from the questionnaire. In
other words, comply strictly with instructions given. Any modification could jeopardize
the integrity of the information.
Read questions without applying any pressure on the respondent in any way. Never say
something like: "You worked last week, right?”. Never assume that you know the answer
in advance.
In terms of the rhythm of the interview, keep in mind that the interview consists of
questions, answers, moment of silence and breaks. Read questions trying to keep the
same rhythm all the time, give the respondent time to think about the answer. The
interviewer must assess the level of respondent’s understanding: question reading
speed would depend on this. Besides the interviewer must pronounce every single word
he/she reads clearly.
Read obligatory questions literary as they are written in the questionnaire (without any
modification). In the case that the respondent does not understand it, read it again. If
the respondent does not understand it after the second reading, explain carefully to
22
him/her the purpose of the question, taking care not to amend in any way the original
meaning of the question and without any influence on the answer.
Allow the respondent enough time to answer the question. Try to ensure that
respondent does not amend the meaning of the question. Do it in a friendly way:
experience will show which are best ways to achieve this,
To complete the interview, express thanks for the information received: be kind. Try to
make good impression during the first visit to the household, keep in mind that you
would have to come again to the same household,
Do not offer copies of the questionnaire or any other material or anything else, that the
interviewer is not authorized to distribute,
When leaving the household, thank all the respondents for their cooperation in the
survey, time they spent and the efforts they invested.
4. Concepts and main definitions: In order to manage the survey properly, a list of key terms
have been established, which should help interviewers in carrying out their work. Detailed
definitions are provided in relevant Chapters on individual Modules.
Population: Set of elements which make the whole. That could be all the people in a
country or an entity, all households, all household, etc.
Sample: a part of population representing the whole population. Sample selection is
a subject of statistical methods that take into account characteristics of both the
population and individual members of the population.
Direct interview: Procedure by which information on certain person is collected
directly from the person. The person giving information on him/herself is a “direct
respondent”.
Reference period: Period about which the respondent is asked questions. The survey
uses different reference periods depending on type of required information,
respondent’s ability to remember and objectives of each topic to be analyzed.
Household is social unit consisting of one or more persons who use joint
accommodation and food. In other words, a household is a group of person who
normally live in the same household unit (“live under the same roof”), who are or
are not related and who eat together (“eat from the same pot”).
Head of the household: is a person defined as such for the purpose of the survey,
irrespective of reason (the oldest by age, decision maker in the household, a person
who earns the most income, based on tradition, etc.).
Guest: a person who use joint accommodation and food free of charge together with
household members. Guest who stays longer than six months is considered
household member.
Tenant of the household: a person who pays for accommodation in a part of a
household. This person is not a member of the household whether they eats on
his/her own or prepare food separately. Such tenant is considered a separate
household.
Students who study in another town, but they are supported by the household are
treated as household members, although they more than six months absent.
Household members: Anybody who meets the following criteria:
23
Members
Non-members
A household member is present at the
moment of interview, if that is the place
where he/she spent at least 6 months of
the previous 12 months. The household
head should be listed as a member even if
they did not spend 6 of the previous 12
months in the household.
Person absent from the household longer
than 6 months (including ones serving
military service, in prison, religious
service, etc.)
Person absent at the moment of interview,
if he/she is absent less than six months
during the previous 12 months.
Those who live elsewhere, visitors or
tourists who are in the household less
than six months.
Guests or other persons who live in the
household longer than six months during
the previous 12 months.
Tenants who eat and who do not eat with
the household.
Newborn babies irrespectively of duration
of their stay in the household as well as the
head of the household.
Those who eat in the household but live
elsewhere or live in the household but
eat elsewhere.
Students who are absent longer than six
months but are supported by household
members.
Similar to tenants, students who pay for
accommodation and food to the
household.
5. Organization of the questionnaire. In order to maintain respondent’s attention, to achieve
good rhythm of the interview, get information in a such form which facilitates questionnaire
filling, the questionnaire is designed with specific structure and order by which the topic on
which questions are asked, are organized.
The questions in the questionnaires are organized into Sections which are ordered in
sequences one after another, and each is on one of the surveyed topics.
The interview must be carried out in exactly the same order defined in the questionnaire.
The following tables provide a list of Sections and the topics covered. Detailed information
on each section can be found in subsequent chapters of this Manual.

6. Type of information: the GHS Panel questionnaire requires different types of information
depending on the topic which is to be analyzed, age, and level of details and accuracy of
required information.
7. Direct Response
In case of persons older than 12, such person is the direct respondent.
Besides in sections on specific topics, such as consumption, agriculture and family business,
direct respondent is person who is most knowledgeable about this subject (enterprise
owner, person who does farming, person in the household in charge of supply, etc.).
See previous Table for information on the most suitable respondent for each Module of the
questionnaire.
8. Questionnaire filling: The questionnaire includes different elements:
Question: it is to be literarily read to the respondent based on which information
required in the survey is obtained. Each question is numbered.
Answer modality or core: these are possible answers, the interviewer selects answer
code which is closest to the respondent’s answer. (Pay attention that in many questions
there are not offered modalities, but measure units to be used in the answer (year, KM,
kg, etc.)).
Answer box: it is a place envisaged to enter given answer
Instruction for interviewer: these are printed in CAPITAL letters, which facilitates survey
implementation.
26
Skip patterns: Questions are normally asked in order one after another. However, in
some cases given answer defines which question to ask next, or which question is to be
skipped. Questionnaire uses certain marks which show which question is to be skipped.
9. Question types: There are two types of questions used in the GHS Panel questionnaire:
Closed questions a) both question text and question code are read: for this type of questions
the interviewer must literally read both question and, slowly, one by
One, list of offered codes. In such questions both question and code are printed in small
letters.
b) only question text is read: for this type of questions, the interviewer reads only the
text of the question, waits for the answer and then selects corresponding code and
enters it. In this type of questions, question text is printed in small letters and question
codes are printed in CAPITAL letters.
Open questions: for this type of questions, the interviewer reads only question text and
then enters answer exactly as given by the respondent. For such questions there are no
offered answers, and the interviewer enters either words or numbers depending on the
question and answer. “Respondent’s name” is an example of open question where the
interviewer enters words.
27
10. Note for the interviewer
Anything printed in CAPITAL letters presents instruction for the interviewer and should not be
read loudly. CAPITAL letters are used in three cases:
Instructions for interviewer: these are instructions for the interviewer on how to ask
question, how to enter data, what to do after the answer is given.
Example: As it could be seen in the question 15 from the Education Section below,
whole question is printed in small letters. It means that the interviewer reads whole
question exactly as it is written.
15.
What was the amount of the scholarship you
received in the 2011-2012 school year?
Example: Unlike the question 15, whole text taken from the Assets Section is printed in
CAPITAL letters. This question should not be read loudly – this is an instruction for the
interviewer and the interviewer has to do what he/she is requested and then to move to
the next question which requires information from the respondent.

Brackets and capital letters: it means that the interviewer has to replace the word in the
brackets by another word, when he/she asks the question. In certain sections of the
questionnaire, the word “name” is often written in brackets [NAME]. In such cases this
work should be replaced by actual name of the person interviewed at that moment.
28
Figure 3 below shows Flap A open with a part of Section 1 – Roster, shown.
If Mrs. Onyido is the respondent on this section of the questionnaire then following the rules
of filling-out the questionnaire, you would seek answers for the person in the first row of the
section, in this case Mr. Onyido.
In asking the question, you should replace [Name] with the name of the person on the Flap.
You would read question 12 as follows:
“What is Mr. Onyido’s main religion?”
Example: As it is shown in question 1 (see Figure 4 below), the word animal is written in
capital letters in brackets. It means that the word ‘animal’ should be replaced by the name
of specific animal from the list below that question. Which means, when this question is
asked first time it would read: “Since the new year, have you or any member of your
household raised or owned any Calf Female?”, when asked for the first line.

Preventing influence on the answer: In question where an opinion is requested, answer
modalities are often written in capital letters (that is the other type of closed question).
It means that the interviewer does not read answer modalities and waits for the
respondent to answer him/herself. (In other question modalities are written in small
letters and interviewer should read them loudly)
Example: In this case we want to make sure that respondent gives the reason why
he/she is not currently in school. If the interviewer started reading answer modalities,
the respondent might agree with some other modality. But the reason 12 might be the
reason why he/she is not currently in school.

11. Order of Asking Questions and Skip pattern.
In order to maintain logical sequence of filling questionnaire a system of skip patterns, which
enables interviewer to follow course of the interview depending on received answers from the
respondent, has been developed. Depending on the answer given by the respondent some
questions would be asked, another would be skipped. In order to ensure this, the questionnaire
is to be filled in order moving from left to right. It helps interviewer to carry out interview
without going back and force and checking previous answers.
The questionnaires are to be filled, in order question by question, except in cases of special
instruction, everybody is to be asked question 1, then question 2, 3 etc, see Figure 5.
For example, in section where a flap is used, you should record the data one row (or person) at a
time. At the end of the section, or where you are instructed to go to the next person, you
should record information for the next person in the row below. This should be done until you
have completed all persons for that section.
30
How to Use the Flaps
There is only one flap in the Household Questionnaire. After the cover has been completed, the
next step is to open Flap A on page 45 of the panel household questionnaire. All the information
on this flap should be completed for the household. The row where a person’s name is placed
on the flap will be the row in which all the information about that person will be given in
sections 1 to 5. The flap is kept open so that the row that corresponds to the person will always
be visible.
Upper and Lower Case Texts (Capital letters and Small letters)
Texts written in upper case (capital) letters are instructions to the interviewer and should not be
read to the respondent. Other texts that you will see written with upper case letters are lists
and codes. These also should NOT be read to the respondent.
Text written in lower case (small) letters SHOULD be read directly to the respondent.
For example, in Question 10 (see Figure 2 below), you should read: “In what year did you get
married to each of your wives respectively?” You should not read the text below that because it
is written with upper case (capital) letters. The text in upper case letters is an instruction to you.

But, not all respondents should answer all the questions. For example, if person is not
employed, he/she should not be asked about his/her job- such questions would be
inappropriate. Besides, it would make interview longer and annoy the respondent. For these
reasons, the questionnaire includes clear skip patterns, which indicate to the interviewer, which
person should not be asked which questions, depending on the answer to previous question.
31
There are numerous instructions for skipping questions and moving to another part of the
questionnaire in the most efficient and logical way. Examples of such questions are given below:
since they present key component of the questionnaire, their proper understanding would have
significant impact on the quality of the answers and duration of the interview.
The following signs are used to identify skip patterns: If there is not any sign, then all the
respondents are asked the next question, irrespectively of their answer to the previous
question.
Example: If there is no skip pattern, irrespectively of ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer to this question, the
respondent should be asked the following question 4.
3.
Do you have health insurance?
YES.......1
NO......,2
If there is arrow ► followed by ‘Q’ and a number ► Q18, it means that the interviewer should
move directly to the question with the number, in this particular case question number 18.
Example: If person answers question 8 that he/she has taken steps to find a job in the past 7
days the skip pattern indicates that he/she should not answer question 9, but instead should
skip to and answer question 10. After posing question 10 to the respondent, s/he replies that
they were available for work. This means the enumerator should skip to question 12. The
enumerator then asks question 12 and records the month and year that the person did work for
pay. If the worker has never done any work for pay, then the enumerator should skip to
question 39. If the worker did not work in the past 12 months, then the enumerator should skip
to question 50.

Types of data to be entered: There are two types of data to be recorded based on the
information direct and transcript.
Direct: Direct one is when the interviewer needs to enter verbatim what the respondent
says. It could be numerical data (quantity or price) or textual data (respondent’s name,
employment sector).
Transcript: It is when there are predetermined codes for expected different answers.
The interviewer should identify corresponding code and enter it in the relevant box.
In order to avoid errors in transcription the interviewer must be
particularly careful, taking due care to enter data in the box envisaged for
the interviewed person. Since answer box envisaged for interviewed
person is distant from individual's ID and distant from the place where
question text and modality are loaded, the interviewer must take care to
make proper entry.
34
13. Measurement Units
For all question when the respondent is asked to specify certain quantity, amount, frequency,
different measure units are offered (e.g. kilogram-sack, month-year, meter-kilometer, etc.)
among which the respondent can choose the most suitable measure unit to him/her, and which
is easiest for him/her to give answer to required question. The respondent can choose, within
the same section, to give answers for different items in different measure units (e.g. seed use
for different crops could be expressed in different measure units).
After the interviewer asks, household or individual first chooses the unit of measure in which
they want to answer, and then give answer on quantity, amount or frequency. The interviewer
enters measure unit code in the corresponding column, and after that the amount, quantity or
frequency.
The interviewer enters data on such measure unit as the respondent says and does not do any
conversion. All necessary conversions would be done by computers during data entry or survey
analysis process. Questions would be answered either by whole numbers or by decimal
numbers. Decimal is to be separated from the whole number by comma (,).
14. Lack of Information
When the respondent, for any reason, gives no answer to the asked question, the interviewer
should record 9999 if the respondent does not know or cannot remember the answer or refuses
to answer in the relevant box.
15.
Entering “0” as an Answer
If the question is about quantity (e.g. number of days, hectares, value, KM, etc.) zero is correct
answer and should be always entered if the respondent gives such an answer.
If the question contains categories, rather than value, zero is not valid answer. The interviewer
should enter number, or in case of no answer 9999.
In case there are more answers offered for asked question, and the respondent gives only one
answer, the interweaver should enter hyphen (-) in the other columns, to indicate that only one
answer was given.
16. Correcting Errors in the Questionnaire
The questionnaire is to be filled by pen. In case of error, the interviewer should strikethrough
the data so that one is still able to see the original and enter correct answer in the same box.
The following Chapters provide instruction for filling-out the Questionnaires and their Sections.
Pre-filling Questionnaire
The role of an interviewer in completing questionnaires for post harvest panel survey is crucial.
Some sections in the post harvest panel questionnaires should be pre-filled by the fieldstaff
from the post planting questionnaires. The essence is to aid in the development of tracking
policy which will:
Ensure that same households/respondents interviewed during Post- Planting (1st Visit) period
responded during Post Harvesting (2nd Visit) period
To explore relationship between Post-Planting and Post Harvesting in Panel Survey
To confirm and validate the inconsistencies in the data collected
To track changes over time in behaviour and activities of households/individuals
35
To provide means to gather additional information on households including changes in
household composition
General Households Questionnaire
The following sections should be pre-filled using the already completed HHs Post Planting
questionnaires for individual HHs concerned:
Household Identification Section (A-1)
Roster-Panel Households (All household members) Section 1
Non-Farm Enterprises and Income Generating Activities Section 7
Section A-1: Household Identification
The interviewer should pre-fill the HH identification section using the already filled or completed
questionnaire from the Post planting (1st Visit) period.
He/she should ensure that the
st
information on the identification sections of both 1 and 2nd visits are the same for the
households being interviewed. Both EA and RIC names/codes will be the same except otherwise
The Name of Household Head will be the same.
Procedure for Pre-filling the Identification Section

37
Chapter 4: Household Questionnaire
SECTION 1 – ROSTER
Main objective of this section is to identify all the persons who are household members and
collect general demographic information on them, such as age, gender, marital status, etc.
The first step in completing the Roster is to open FLAP A. FLAP A is on page 47 of the panel
questionnaire and contains Question 1 to Question 5.
Respondent: Each individual in the household should respond for him/herself. In the case children
that cannot respond for themselves, a parent/caregiver of responsible adult in the household can
respond on their behalf.
Household: In this survey, a household will be defined as a person or group of people who usually
sleep in the same dwelling and with a recognized head and who shares common eating
arrangement for more than 6 months preceding the interview.
The following are examples of a household: A household consisting of a man and his wife/wives and children, father/mother, nephew
and other relatives.
A household consisting of a single person
A household consisting of a couple or several couples with or without their children.
All listed persons who have been away from the household for more than six months are not
considered to be household members except: Person identified as the head of household even if he or she has not been with the
household for 6 months
Newly born children (or newly adopted)
Students and seasonal workers who have not been living in or as part of another
household.
Head of household: Usually the head of the household is the person who provides most of the
needs of the household and is familiar with all the activities and occupations of the household
members. He/she will be the person named when you ask the question "Who is the head of this
household?"
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILLING-OUT THE ROSTER
The household roster must be filled out with the greatest care. The following steps must be
followed:
Completion of FLAP A
This flap must be completely filled-out before answering any other question in the Roster. That
is, questions 1, 2 and 3 will be pre-filled and questions 4 and 5 will be completed when the
interviewer visits the household. The interviewer should enquire If persons have joined the
household since the last interview. All persons that have joined the household since the last
interview should be written immediately below the list of persons already entered in the roster.
Question 1 to 5 should then be completed for these new persons that have been added.
Special Note on Question 5: A "YES" response should be given for all persons added on this visit
to the list of household members that were pre-filled. A "YES" should also be given for all persons
with an age of six years or less recorded in question 4.
38
In filling Flap A, the respondent should preferably be the head of the household. If the head is
absent, then a responsible and knowledgeable adult, preferably the spouse of the household head
should be interviewed.
Provision is made for 12 household members. If there are more than 12 household members, a
second household questionnaire should be used and the first person on the added questionnaire
should be number 13 and so on. The interviewer should confirm that household head here is the
same as household head listed on the Cover page.
QUESTION 6: The day, month and year the respondent was born is very necessary. Write “98”
for months and days if respondent does not know. If the day and month of birth is given and the
year is not known, the year of birth should be estimated from the age in question 4. Check that
age in question 4 and year of birth in this question are consistent.
Note: The date of birth MUST be recorded for all children six years old or less. In all such cases,
the interviewer should ask to see the child's birth certificate in order to confirm the information
provided.
QUESTION 7: Present marital status refers to the respondent's marital status on the day of
interview. Note also that marital status to be recorded is the most recent. For example, if a
respondent was a widow and now has remarried, the current status is "Married".
Definition of Marital Status
1 - Married (monogamy) includes all types of marriages e.g. civil, traditional and common
law to only one woman. It is also a state of having only one sexual partner at any one time.
The word monogamy comes from the Greek word called Mono which means one or alone
and the Greek word Gamos which means marriage or union.
2 - Married (polygamy) includes all types of marriages e.g. civil, traditional and common
law to more than one woman. It is also defined as having more than one wife or husband at
the same time, usually a man with several wives.
3 - Informal/Loose Union refers to a relationship contracted by two adults living together
without civil or traditional recognition. Such people may report that they are married, so
probe carefully and sensitively to find out the actual marriage contract.
4 - Divorce: When a marriage is legally dissolved
5 - Separation: Living apart without legal backing
6 - Widowed: A situation where one of the couple is dead.
7 - Never Married: A situation where the respondent is single and has never been married
before.
QUESTION 8: There MUST be a response to this question for ALL members of the household
QUESTION 9: The objective of this question is to know how many wives are currently living with the
respondent at the time of interview. E.g. if the respondent has one wife the interviewer will write 1
in the space provided and if more 1 than wife the interviewer will the appropriate number in the
space provided.
QUESTION 10: These are the years in which the marriage took place and all the years listed here
must be for wives that are alive at the time of the interview.
QUESTION 11: This question seeks to determine if the household member’s spouse is currently
a member of the household. In the case of a male in a polygamous relationship, the interviewer
should enquire of the first wife only
39
QUESTION 12: This is most senior wife in terms of marriage that lives in the Household. The
interview should Copy the ID Code of the spouse from the Household Roster.
QUESTION 13: These questions seek to know if the respondent has been interviewed (or
information has been collected on this individual) in the previous round of the survey.
QUESTION 14: If the response to this question is "YES" then that means information on this
member has already been collected in previous Panel survey visits so no further questions need
to be asked in the Roster. The instruction is to skip to the next section, Section 2B.
If the response is "NO" then questions will be asked about the individual leaving the household.
These questions start at 28 hence the instruction to skip to that question.
QUESTIONS ON MEMBERS JOINING THE HOUSEHOLD SINCE THE LAST INTERVIEW: QUESTIONS
15 TO 27
QUESTION 15: This information is useful as a guide to whether or not the person qualifies as a
household member using the time rule. The CODE for the date should be recorded and not the
date itself.
QUESTION 16: This information is useful in determining whether the person is a household
member or not.
These new household members could be persons:
1. Joining the household for the first time
2. Who were previously household members but left the household and have now
returned.
QUESTION 17: If the respondent does not have a religion then the response should be "NONE"
under Other Specify.
QUESTIONS 18 to 22: These questions are about the biological father of the respondent. If the
biological father is a member of the household then the household Individual Code should be
written in Question 19. Carefully identify the respondent's father on FLAP A before writing the
code.
Questions 21 and 22 collect information on the education and industry of employment,
respectively, of the respondent's biological father. This information is collected whether or not
the father is alive (Question 20).
QUESTION 23 to 27: These questions are about the biological mother of the respondent. If the
biological mother is a member of the household then the household Individual Code should be
written in Question 24. Carefully identify the respondent's mother on FLAP A before writing the
code. After writing the individual code in question 24, the interviewer should skip to SECTION
2A. That is, no more questions in the roster should be asked of this respondent.
Questions 26 and 27 collect information on the education and industry of employment,
respectively, of the respondent's biological mother. This information is collected whether or not
the mother is alive (Question 25).
ALL respondents that are asked question 27, should not be asked any subsequent questions in
the roster and should be skipped to SECTION 2A, as instructed.
QUESTIONS ON MEMBERS THAT HAVE LEFT THE HOUSEHOLD SINCE THE LAST INTERVIEW:
QUESTIONS 28 TO 41
40
These questions should be answered by the head of the household or the spouse of the head of
household, or some other responsible adult in the household.
QUESTION 28: If the former household member has died, then no more questions should be
asked about this person in this section or in any of the other individual Sections 2 to 6.
QUESTION 29: This information is useful as a guide to whether or not the person should be
retained as a household member using the time rule. The CODE for the date should be recorded
and not the date itself.
QUESTION 30: This question seeks to determine if the former household member has moved to
a location within Nigeria or a location outside Nigeria. If the former household member has
moved to a location within Nigeria, only one more question will be asked in the Roster, and that
is Question 31. If the former household member moved outside Nigeria, Questions 32 to 41 are
applicable.
QUESTION 31: Only the LGA Name and State Name should be recorded during the interview.
The codes for LGA and State should be entered by the supervisor when the questionnaire is
being examined or reviewed.
QUESTION 32: If the respondent does not know the country that the former household member
has moved to, then 98 should be recorded as the response.
QUESTION 33: This is the NUMBER of months that the person has been abroad.
QUESTION 34: There could be more than one reason that the former household member
migrated but this question requires only one. The single response should be the most important
reason.
QUESTION 35: This question seeks to know if the former household member is currently in a
job.
QUESTION 36 to 38: These questions are about the former household member's current job. A
complete description of the job must be provided in question 36. Note that this job that has
been written must not be coded in the interview.
QUESTION 39 to 41: These questions seek to determine the former household member's
sources of financial assistance to migrate and to settle abroad.
Answers to these questions must conclude with a skip to the NEXT PERSON because no further
questions should be asked about the former household member.
41
SECTION 2A: EDUCATION FOR NEW MEMBERS IN THE HOUSEHOLD
There are two education parts in this questionnaire. The first, Section 2A, is for new household
members, i.e. members that have joined the household since the last interview. The second,
Section 2B, is for household members that were a part of the household in the last interview.
All household members 5 years old and older must have a response to either Section 2A or
Section 2B.
The objective of these sections is to measure the level of education or formal schooling of all
household members. The key educational indicators that are of interest are enrolment rates and
dropout rates. Dropouts are persons of primary or secondary school age that are not currently
attending school. Additional educational indicators include the highest grade completed and the
type of school attended (private or public). These sections also collect information on literacy
levels and education expenditure
Respondents: Ideally, all household members should respond for themselves. Proxy answers are
allowed as parents/guardians can answer for their children who are under 12 years old. In other
case where it is not possible for individual response, the head of household or the spouse of the
head of household should respond on behalf of the household members that are not available for
the interview.
FLAP A on page 43 should be used with these sections.
QUESTION 1 and 2: These questions are for the interviewer and are designed to provide guidance
as to the next section to be answered by the respondent. A response must be written before any
skip action is taken.
QUESTION 3 and 4: These questions are to identify the respondent.
QUESTION 5: The response to this question is "YES" if the respondent can BOTH read and write. If
the respondent can read but cannot write, or write but cannot read , or can neither read nor write,
then the correct response is "NO".
QUESTION 6: This question is designed to separate the respondents into persons that have
attended school and those that have not. Attendance does not mean that any level was completed.
It should also be noted that the term "school” includes Quaranic schools.
QUESTION 7: Although this question can have more than one valid response, it is a single response
question and only the MAIN reason is required. Responses such as "NONE" and "DON'T KNOW"
should be recorded under Other Specify.
The term ‘school’ includes primary, secondary and post-secondary schooling, as well as any
other intermediate levels of schooling in the formal school system. It also includes technical
or vocational training beyond the primary-school level, such as long-term courses in
mechanics or secretarial work.
Schools that carry out non-formal education are also included here. Ensure that respondents
understand what is meant by ‘non-formal education’. A non-formal education includes
religious schools, such as Quranic schools, that do not teach a full, standard school
curriculum. If a school teaches religious courses but also includes the standard curriculum –
such as many Catholic schools – it would be coded as a standard school.
42
Pre-school’ is listed for children who do not attend grade 1 at age 5, but do attend some
form of organized learning or early childhood education programme, whether or not such a
programme is considered part of the school system. The definition of organized early
learning programme does not refer to programme offering only babysitting or child-minding.
QUESTION 8: The interviewer should ask the respondent at what age did him /her starts
schooling. The interviewer is expected to probe further may be with stories, events and
illustrations that happened for the elderly ones to assist them to recall from memory the age.
QUESTIONS 8 to 27: These questions are for persons that have attended school.
QUESTION 8: This is an approximate age and should be given as the years of age only.
QUESTION 9: This is the highest level that was SUCCESSFULY completed
QUESTION 10: Qualification means certification at the respective level. That is, the respondent
has passed all necessary qualifying examinations and coursework at that level.
Definition of Qualification Codes:
NONE: The respondent has not been certified as having completed any level
FSLC: First School Leaving Certificate is attained after spending six (6) years in primary school.
MSLC: Modern School Leaving Certificate is attained after spending six (6) years in the primary school and
three years of Modern school
VOC/COMM.:
Vocational/Commercial is a certificate obtained after going through artisan/art craft
training e.g. Mechanic, Tailoring etc.
JSS: Junior Secondary School is a certificate obtained after completion of the first three (3) years in
secondary school.
SSS (O’ Level): Senior Secondary School is a certificate obtained after completion of six (6) years in
secondary school.
A Level: Advance Level is a certificate obtained after two (2) years completion of higher secondary school
(HSC)
NCE/OND: (NCE) National Certificate of Education is a certificate obtained after completion of three (3)
years in college of education. (OND) Ordinary National Diploma is the certificate obtained after
completion of first two (2) years in the Polytechnic.
School of Nursing: This is a certificate obtained after spending three (3) years in the school of nursing.
BA/BSc./HND: Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science/Higher National Diploma are obtained after three (3),
four (4), five (5) or six (6) years of university or polytechnic education
Technical or Professional Diploma: It refers to a Diploma Certificate obtained from any Polytechnic or
University.
Masters: Refers to any Masters degree. It is the second degree obtained in the university after Bachelors
(first degree). Examples include Master of Science (MSc), Masters of Business Administration (MBA).
Doctorate: Refers to PhD: Doctor of Philosophy is the third level degree obtainable in the university after
Masters
QUESTION 11: This is to ascertain the respondents who were in school 2011-2012 school year. That
is, the question is not asking about the current school year but the previous school year to when
the interview is being conducted.
QUESTION 12: The interviewer should ask the respondent what type of school is household
member attending. For those currently in schools, the interviewer will record what type of
organization that runs the school. The field supervisor will be advised to educate him/herself
regarding the types of schools in the area, as some respondents may have difficulty reporting this
43
information. The supervisor can then assist in properly coding the type of organization from the
name of the school.
Do not expend too much effort in determining exactly what type of school the individual
attends. As noted earlier, unless there is obvious evidence to the contrary, one should take
the respondent’s answers as sufficiently accurate.
If the respondent does not understand the question, ask what the name of the school is
and try to assist by probing. Typically the name of the school may/will give you enough
information to determine what type of school it is. Otherwise the Supervisor will have to
assist the interviewer in this response as it is expected that the Supervisor will more be
conversant
QUESTION 13: This question asks about the respondent's enrolment in school in the current school
year, 2012 to 2013. The school can be any of those with the levels listed in question 15.
QUESTION 14: This is a single response question, so only the main reason should be given. For
persons that are elderly or who do not consider further education necessary, option 1 should be
recorded, i.e. "HAD ENOUGH/COMPLETED SCHOOLING".
QUESTIONS 15 TO 24: These questions are only for persons enrolled in school in the current
school year.
QUESTION 15: This question is for enrolment in the current school year: 2012 to 2013. Even if
the respondent is not presently attending but has been registered in a class at the school, the
level in which the person is enrolled (or registered) should be recorded.
QUESTION 16: See Question 12 instructions in this section.
QUESTION 17: This is a single response method so the main method is required. The method is
considered "main" if that is the method used for most/all of the journey on most days.
QUESTION 18: This is the time usually taken on a typical day. Note that the times which have been
coded, are in minutes. The interviewer should record the CODE for the time and not the time itself.
QUESTION 19: The question seeks to determine if the respondent is currently on scholarship, i.e. is
registered for a scholarship for this current school year: 2012 to 2013
QUESTION 20 to 22: These questions seek to determine the amount of money to be received this
current year under the scholarship, the period over which the scholarship is to be received and
what the benefit covers. The interviewer should ask for an official document (if any) and copy out
the amount, otherwise ask the respondents for the actual amount. The value of the scholarship for
2012 - 2013 may include one or two school years. However, the amount to be entered is the value
for the current year only. If during the current school year the person has two scholarships of
different amounts, the sum of the amounts received must be calculated and entered.
The number of years over which the scholarship has been granted should be recorded in question
21 and the source of the scholarship in question 22.
QUESTION 23: These questions are intended to determine education expenses for each household
member that was or is in school at any time during the 2012-2013 school year. These expenditures
may be in cash or kind and include all amounts since the beginning of the academic year 2012 to
2013. When the respondent is unsure of the amount, you should probe and, if possible, ask for an
approximate value and enter in appropriate COLUMN. In most cases, the authorities of the school
will send the parent/guardian a fee schedule, so you can ask for it and copy out the expenses under
each category. But make sure that this fee schedule is for the whole academic session up to the
present time and not for one school term. The amount should be recorded in absolute value. IF
44
THERE WAS NO EXPENDITURE, WRITE 0. IF THERE WAS EXPENDITURE BUT THE RESPONDENT
DOES NOT KNOW HOW MUCH, THE INTERVIEWER SHOULD PUT A DASH "-".
Note
Categories A-G: If expenditure for this student can be fully given in the Sections A-G and
the values are known for all of these categories, then the amounts should be recorded in
the appropriate column. If there was no expenditure in any category, then 0 should be
entered in that category. No value should be entered in categories H and I.

ascertaining the appropriate time that they would be available.
Terms and Definition
Some definitions and terminology used in the questionnaire include: Main occupation: This is the work to which most time is devoted when a respondent has more
than one job. For instance, the main occupation for the past 7 days of a respondent who farms
mostly and also goes fishing during the dry season is farming.
The last 12 months: This refers to the period of 12 consecutive months just before and including
the interview day. During the interview, you should be specific. For example, if the interview
takes place on March 10, 2013 then we refer to all the preceding months down to March 9,
2012.
Secondary occupation: This is the work to which much of the respondent's time is devoted after
the main occupation. In the example given above, fishing would be the secondary occupation of
the farmer in the 7 days. However a respondent may have more than one Secondary occupation.
Reference Period: The reference period used in this section is the last seven days. When conducting
the interview the interviewer should direct the respondent to consider the seven days prior to the

should ask the respondent to consider the seven days from last week Tuesday.
QUESTIONS 1 - 3: These questions seek to capture information about the various types of work
that each eligible member of household is engaged in, in the past 7 days. The respondent should
answer each question. Question 1 asks about being engaged in paid work (i.e. as an employee).

a member or members of the household. Question 3 asks if there is any engagement in own
account work or in a business enterprise belonging to the respondent or some other household
member.
QUESTION 4: If there is a ‘YES’ response in any of the questions 1, 2 or 3, then that indicates that
the household member was working during the past 7 days and the response to this question
should be "YES". The interviewer should then skip to question 10 where questions will be asked
about the work that the household member was engaged in. Persons who were not working during

the household member is a child, then "STUDENT" is the correct response if the child is in school. If
the child is not yet at school age, then the response should be: "TOO YOUNG".
48
QUESTIONS 7: If the person was willing and in a position to have started work in the last seven days

healers are concerned with treating the whole person, focusing on family and social
relationships. The traditional healer's approach is a holistic one, with the mind, body and

pharmacology. Licensure is required upon completion of the program and prior to serving
as a pharmacist.
Patent medicine vendor (PMV) supplies a large portion of the drugs used by the public in
African countries to treat illnesses. They are similar to pharmacist but with no formal
training and are more like salespeople selling medicine to people. They are in fact similar to
kiosk medicine vendors.
A Traditional Birth Attendant (TBA) is one who assists the mother during childbirth. She
may have acquired skills by delivering babies herself, or through apprenticeship from other
TBAs.
QUESTION 7: This question asks the place where the consultation took place. Provision has been

a pharmacist is not available. One may have a prescription or ask the pharmacist to
prescribe medication.
MCH post is a Maternal and Child Health post. Main function concerns health status of
mother and children.
Consultant home refers to medical practitioner home.

health centre, catholic hospital etc
Other refers any other classification not stated above and includes over-the-counter
purchases in kiosks through self-prescription.
QUESTION 8: This is the authority under which the location given in question 7 falls. For example, if
the person consults a doctor in a hospital, the interviewer will need to determine whether it is a
Federal, State, or local government hospital, etc. The first and second type of establishment in this
question must match with the first and second place of consultation in question 7.
Definitions of some of the types of establishments are given below.
53
Federal Govt is a union comprising a number of partially self-governing states united by a
central ("federal") government.
State Govt is the self-governing status of the state and is a component of the federal
government. It is the second hierarchy of the government.
Local Govt is the political administration of the smallest subdivisions of a country's territory
and population. It is the third level of the government.
Community based run health facility may be public or private as they are managed by the
community. However, most community run facilities are public institutions.
Religious Body is a facility managed and supported by a church (religious) organisation. The
question does not ask denomination or sect so interviewer must be very careful when
probing for a response.
Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) is said to include a wide range of local
organizations that are recipients of both local and foreign assistance. It is a voluntary
non-profit grouping of individuals with a purpose of enhancing the legitimate economic,
social and/or cultural development organization e.g. Society for Family Health.

one person.
QUESTION 9: This question refers to the FIRST consultation fee, i.e. the money just to see the
doctor which is usually paid in advance and includes payment made for the card. The amount here
does not include money for drugs, or any medical supplies.
QUESTION 10: The amount in this question refers to only the FIRST consultation, same as in
question 9, and is for transportation costs two-ways, i.e. going for the consultation and returning
home.
QUESTION 11 and 12: These questions seek to determine how long it takes to travel to, and see the
health practitioner. Both the travel time (question 11), and the waiting time (question 12), must be
given in hours and minutes. Note: the waiting time in question 12, is how long it took after the
respondent was registered.
Examples of how to record travel and waiting times:
If time taken is less than 60 minutes e.g. 55 minutes, enter 0 in the HOURS column and
55 in the MINUTE column.
If 1 hr 20 min, then enter 1 under the HOUR column and 20 under the MINUTE column.
QUESTION 13 and 14: These questions are about medicines and drugs purchased over the counter,
from a kiosk or from Patent Medicine Vendors (PMV) in the past 4 weeks. QUESTION 14 asks the

QUESTION 20: Ask the respondent for the person who paid for most of the expenses incurred this
include consultation, admission , treatment, purchase of medicine and medical supplies in the last
12 months if any but if none that is you paid yourself then code appropriately.
QUESTION 21: Ask the respondent apart from what was paid from others how much did you pay
yourself (own pocket) for medical expenses. Note this does not include any medicines or medical
supplies or drug over the counter. Also if all expenses are paid by the respondent then the amount

ACTIVITIES AND FUNCTIONING
Developmental disabilities are a diverse group of severe chronic conditions that are due to
mental and/or physical impairments. This question includes both physical and mental
disabilities and is meant to capture conditions, which are permanent. Physical and mental
disabilities to be considered here are those which prevent the person from maintaining a
significant activity or schooling. This may be some physical impairment of limbs, a physical
disease, or mental illness, which renders the person incapable of pursuing a significant activity.
Note: someone who is temporarily disabled due to a broken leg would not be considered
disabled their impairment is temporary.
Respondent: This part should be administered to each member of the household but parents or
guardians can answer for young children.
Some people have difficulty in doing certain activities. The term “difficulty” has broad
applicability. This term may cover components of quality, quantity, time required and assistance
required performing the tasks or actions mentioned. Persons with very mild limitations are
sometimes unsure as to where to draw the line between a “real difficulty” and normal change
associated with aging. However, as the severity of the difficulty increases, the uncertainty
diminishes.
This asks general questions on daily activities. It asks if household member has difficulty in
performing his day to day tasks. Probe and code appropriately.
QUESTIONS 22A-22E: is an affirmative question and interviewer is not expected to leave any of the
question blank (i.e. No skip instruction to be observed) the response is either YES=1 or NO=2 and
you are not expect to record both options
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is defined as a constellation of behaviors indicating
social, communicative, and behavioral impairment or abnormalities. The essential
features of ASD are (a) impaired reciprocal social interactions, (b) delayed or unusual
communication styles, and (c) restricted or repetitive behavior patterns. A child is
included as a confirmed case of ASD if he or she displays behaviors as described by a
55
qualified professional.
A qualified professional is defined as an educational,
psychological or medical professional with specialized training in the observation of
children with developmental disabilities (e.g., special education teacher,
clinical/developmental/school psychologist, speech/language pathologist, learning
specialist, social worker, developmental pediatrician, child psychiatrist, and pediatric
neurologist).
Cerebral palsy refers to a group of disorders that affect a person's ability to move and to
maintain balance and posture. It is due to a non-progressive brain abnormality, which
means that it does not get worse over time, though the exact symptoms can change
over a person's lifetime. The impairment of motor function may result in paresis,
involuntary movement, or in coordination and does not include motor disorders that are
transient, that result from progressive disease of the brain, or that are due to spinal cord
abnormalities/injuries. Children with cerebral palsy are known by being (a) diagnosed as
having cerebral palsy by a qualified physician or (b) identified by other qualified
professionals as having this disability on the basis of physical findings noted in source
records. A qualified professional is defined as a physician, physical therapist,
occupational therapist, nurse practitioner, or physician's assistant who specializes in
developmental disabilities, neurology, orthopedics or pediatrics. A determination is
made by medical staff that the physical findings are consistent with a diagnosis of
cerebral palsy.
Mental retardation is defined as a condition marked by an intelligence quotient (IQ) of
<=70 on the most recently administered psychometric test. In the absence of an IQ
score, a written statement by a psychometrics that a child's intellectual functioning falls
within the range for mental retardation is acceptable. The severity of mental retardation
is defined according to some standards and this question does not ask or require the
degree of retardation/illness.
Vision impairment means that a person's eyesight cannot be corrected to a "normal"
level and is measured visual acuity of 20/70 or worse, with correction, in the better
eye. Vision impairment may be caused by a loss of visual acuity, where the eye does not
see objects as clearly as usual. It may also be caused by a loss of visual field, where the
eye cannot see as wide an area as usual without moving the eyes or turning the head. In
the absence of a measured visual acuity, a child is considered a case if a source record
includes (a) a functional description, by a qualified physician or vision professional, of
visual acuity of 20/70 or worse (e.g., light perception only) or (b) a statement by a
qualified physician or vision professional that the child has low vision or blindness.
Hearing loss is defined as a measured, bilateral, pure-tone hearing loss at frequencies of
500, 1000, and 2000 hertz averaging 40 decibels (dB) or more, unaided, in the better
ear. In the absence of a measured, bilateral hearing loss, children meet the case
definition if their source records include a description, by a licensed or certified
audiologist or qualified physician, of a hearing loss of 40 dB or more in the better ear.
Intellectual disability is characterized both by a significantly below-average score on a
test of mental ability or intelligence and by limitations in the ability to function in areas
of daily life, such as communication, self-care, and getting along in social situations and
school activities. Intellectual disability is sometimes referred to as a cognitive disability
or mental retardation. Children with intellectual disability can and do learn new skills,
but develop more slowly than children with average intelligence and adaptive skills.
There are different degrees of intellectual disability, ranging from mild to profound and
can be defined by their intelligence quotient (IQ), or by the types and amount of support
they need.

33. If any response to any of these questions is YES some, (2) a lot (3), or cannot do (4), the
interviewer is to ask the next question (which says how old you are when the difficulty started).
NOTE: for babies the response should be taken as no difficulty unless the disability is so glaring.
If the difficulty started from birth or not up to a year the interviewer should record (0).if it
started when the respondent was two and half years the interviewer should considered the last
birthday before the problem started the interviewer is to record (2) under age. But if the
response to the questions is NO (1) the interviewer should follow the skip pattern.
QUESTION 35: interviewer should check columns 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, and 33 if respondent has no
difficulties skip to Questions 37 but if respondent has some difficulties ask if the difficulty
reduces the amount of work he/she can do at home, at work, or at school. E.g. if the respondent
has difficulty in hearing and sometimes (2), it reduce his/her work in school and all the time
(1) at home the interviewer will record will record (2) under at school and (1) under at home but
if the respondent is not going to school or work record (4) where we have such. If the disability
is not affecting him/her record (3).

TREATED BED NETS MODULE
It is recognized that consistent use of insecticide-treated mosquito nets (ITN) decreases the
incidence of clinical malaria and malaria-related deaths, especially in very young children and
pregnant women. Consequently, many countries are now instituting programmers that promote
the use of ITNs. There are various types and brands of mosquito nets. Some require regular
treatment with insecticide. Others are factory-treated and do not require re-treatment for 6 to
12 months (pre-treated) or 36 months (permanent type).
57
The information in column 37 requires the individual net information in the household. This
seeks to find out the types of bed nets that household use to sleep yesterday if the response is
NO=2 skip to Q.40 if the response is YES=2 you should proceed to the next Question and ask
how the informant obtains the bed net if given for free the interviewer should skip to Question
40, but if the bed net was purchase the interviewer should ask in Q.39 to know the cost. The
price should be written in absolute value
NOTE: If the respondent is not sure of the types of bed net the interviewer should probe to get
the correct response, try to observe the net, if possible. All bed nets should be included
including the ones used by the little babies

family planning is for both spouse.
Other methods provide ongoing protection without daily or regular action by the woman.
Contraceptive injections may be administered 2 to 6 months earlier and still provide
protection. Implants provide protection for up to 5 years or until removed. An IUD protects
against pregnancy until it is removed or expelled.
Female sterilization: Also known as tubal ligation or tubectomy. It involves a surgical operation
that cuts and ties separately the fallopian tubes (i.e. the female ducts through which the female
egg passes into the womb after being released from the ovaries) with the aim of preventing
fertilization by the sperms.
Male sterilization: It is also known as Vasectomy. It involves a surgical operation to cut, and tie
separately the vas deferens (i.e. the male ducts which conduct sperms) with the aim of
preventing the sperms from entering the womb during sexual intercourse.
I.U.C.D: It is the abbreviated version of Intra Uterine Contraceptive Device. It is a special
loop or coil which is inserted into the womb to prevent sperm from fertilizing the female
egg after sexual intercourse.
Douche: It involves the use of syringe to wash the vagina with water or chemical solution
immediately after intercourse with the aim of preventing the sperm from fertilizing the
ovum.
Abstinence: It is a non-scientific method of birth control which involves staying away from
sexual intercourse either permanently or for a period of time.
Withdrawal: It involves the man withdrawing before ejaculation during sexual intercourse.
Rhythm: It is a non-scientific method of birth control which involves deliberate avoidance
of sexual intercourse during the "unsafe period" of a woman's menstrual cycle but
58
indulging in the sex act during her "safe period". Safe period is that period outside the
woman's ovulation period.
DIAPHRAGM: A dome-shaped rubber or plastic contraceptive device for women,
placed inside the vagina over the entrance to the womb to prevent
sperm from entering.

Note that vasectomy and tubectomy are different from other surgical operations on the
male or female organ for other purposes.
PRE-NATAL CARE MODULE
QUESTIONS 42 is for the interviewer, you are not expected to read to the respondent if the
respondent is a female between age 12years to 49years record 1 , and 2 for age’s 0-11years and

QUESTION 45: This is a very sensitive question the interviewer should be VERY tactictical and
play along before asking this question. If none record 0
QUESTION 46- 49 Ask if the woman is currently pregnant do not assume, if she says YES ask if
she had register with any health clinic If she says YES then ask how many times she goes to clinic
in a month e.g. if she said 3 times record 3 in the space provided.
NOTE: The first day she went to register with a clinic counts so therefore (0) is not expected in
Q.48.
QUESTION 50: REMEMBER THIS IS A SENSITIVE QUESTION.

even if it died shortly afterwards.
Still birth: It is an infant which showed no sign of life when born.
Miscarriage: It is a spontaneous involuntary abortion during the first six months of pregnancy
ANTHROPOMETARY
QUESTION 51: this is for the interviewer check the age of the entire household member from the
FLAP and record 1 for children 0-4 years and 2 for persons age 5years and above. Note that 0-4
means 0 to one day before the 5th birthday.
Weights and heights of all eligible children under five in the household will be measured after all
the modules for children under five must be completed. however. If the child will not be around
please take time to measure the child before the mother or caregiver leave the households
Measurement of heights and weights will be the responsibility of supervisor to be assisted by
the interviewer each team will have one set of measuring boards and weighing scales. therefore,
once you have completed colum 51 if you have a child between 0-59 months in the hh be ready
to start anthropometric measurements, you should call your supervisor to join you in the
household, together with the equipment.
In some cases, the entrance of supervisor to the household may not be possible; in such cases
the team is to measure the child outside, if allowed in interviewers may perform the
measurements inside the household, with the assistance of the mother.
Each child will be weighed and measured, and the results will be recorded in his/her column. be
sure the weight for each child is recorded on the correct column.
Procedures for weight and height measurements and how to record
Weight Measurement Method
Always explain the weighing procedure to the mother. The child should be weighed
completely nude. Ask for the mother’s authorization and help to undress the child.
Always set the scale on a flat solid surface. If the ground is sand or the scale is instable
for other reasons, place the scale on a flat piece of wood to ensure proper function.
The digital scale can be used to weigh children in two different ways:
1. Children who can stand on their own can be weighed by stepping on the scale and
standing unsupported.
2. Babies and young children can be weighed in the arms of an assistant or of the mother.
This second way is called “weighing with adjusted calibration”.
Preparation for the use of the scale
1. Remove all packaging material from the underside of the scale.
2. Put the batteries in to the scale.
3. Place the scale on a hard and flat surface (board, concrete or solid ground). Soft or irregular
surfaces would cause errors in the weight measure.
60
4. The scale will not function if it is too hot. It is best to place it in the shade out of direct
sunlight. If the scale becomes overheated, place it in a cooler space and wait for 15 minutes
before reusing it.
5. Handle the scale carefully:
Do not drop or let the scale fall.
Do not weigh people over 150 kg.
Do not store the scale in a hot place or expose it to sun for long periods.
Protect the scale from excessive humidity.
The battery scale has an on/off button in the battery compartment under the machine. Turn it
off when not in use. Remove the batteries from the scale if the scale will not be in use for a long
time.
Cleaning
To clean the scale, wipe the surface with a wet cloth. Never immerse the scale in water.
Figure 2- Weighing with Adjusted Calibration
Double weighing also known as “weighing with adjusted calibration”
To weigh a young child, you must first weigh the mother or assistant, tare the scale to zero, and
then weigh the adult and child. The scale will automatically calculate the weight of the child.
To weigh a child with this method you must use the Mother-and-Baby function.
- Ensure that the scale is on.
- Wait until the zeros in the screen stop flashing .
- Have the mother step on to the scale without the child to take her weight.
- Press the Mother-and-Baby key to activate the special tare function.
The display returns to zero and the scale is ready to take the weight of the child.
NOTE: THE PERSON MUST REMAIN STILL WHILE ON THE SCALE.
61
- Have the mother take the child into her arms. The accurate weight is shown when the
numbers in the display stop blinking (after about three seconds).
The Mother-and-Baby function remains switched on until the Mother-and-Baby key is pressed
again or the scale switches off.
The supervisor reads the measure out loud, the interviewer repeats the measure while it is
recorded in the questionnaire. The assistant double checks the correct recording of the weight
measure.
Weighing with calibration: important notes
The weight of the person who will hold the baby has to be shown (and
immediately calibrated) before they are given the child to be weighed.
Only the person whose weight has been tarred can hold the baby to be weighed.
Problems with digital scales
What to do if …
1. No weight is displayed when there is someone on the scale
a. Check if the scale is switched on?
b. Check if the batteries are still charged?
2. The scale keeps switching on during transport for example.
a. Ensure that the switch inside the battery compartment is set to OFF when the
scale is not in use.
3. The scale displays a weight, not zero after transportation or installation of new batteries
a. Wait until the scale switches off automatically after 2 minutes. The scale then
should work normally after.
4. The zeros do not appear on the screen before weighing.
a. Start the scale again after it switches off automatically. Ensure there is no weight
on the scale.
5. The zeros appear on the screen.
a. Start the scale again after it switches off automatically. Ensure there is no weight
on the scale.
6. The screen shows a battery image.
a. Battery power is running low .Change the batteries in the coming days.
7. BATT appears in the screen.
a. The batteries are empty. Change the batteries.
8. STOP appears in the screen.
a. Maximum weight of 150kg has been exceeded.
9. TEMP appears in the screen.
a. The temperature for use of the scale is too high or too low to ensure proper
function. Allow 15 minutes for the scale to cool and try again.
62
10. The screen displays E and a number.
a. Start the scale again after it switches off automatically. Ensure there is no weight
on the scale. If the scale continues to not work, change the scale out with the
spare.
Height Measurement Methods
Always explain to the mother the height measurement procedure. Note that you will need to
remove shoes and any hair pieces or braids in order to accurately measure the child.
HEIGHT OR LENGTH
Standing height
For children 24 months of age or older (see Figure 3 below).
1. Supervisor or interviewer: Place the board vertically and against a wall, table or other
support. Ensure that the board does not wobble or feel unstable.
2. Supervisor or interviewer: Ask the mother to take the child’s shoes off and to undo any
braids or hair decorations that could interfere with the height measurement. Ask her to bring
the child to the board and to kneel directly in front of the child in order to maintain eye contact.
3. Interviewer: Kneel on the right hand side of the child and ensure that the child is standing
straight on the board.
4 supervisors: Kneels on the child’s left (Arrow 3). This allows the measurer to be at the correct
position to adjust and measure the child correctly. If either the assistant or measurer is standing
they are NOT FOLLOWING the proper methods and will not make correct measures.
5. Interviewer: Put the child’s feet flat and joined at the centre and against the back and base of
the board. Put your right hand just over the child’s ankles to ensure that the child does not
stand on his/her toes (Arrow 4), and your left hand on the child’s knees to ensure that the legs
are held straight and the knees are not bent (Arrow 5) and to hold gently against the board.
Verify that the child’s legs are straight and that the heels and the calves are against the board.
Inform the measurer when you have finished positioning the feet and legs and are ready for the
measure.
6 supervisors: Tell the child to look straight ahead towards his/her mother, who should be in
front of him/her. Ensure that the child’s line of vision is parallel to the ground (Arrow 8). Put
your open hand on the child’s chin. Close your hand gradually (Arrow 9). Do not cover the child’s
mouth or ears. Ensure that his/her shoulders are at the same level (Arrow 10), hands on the side
and not gripping to the height board (Arrow 11). Ensure the head, the shoulder blades and the
buttocks are against the board (Arrows 12, 13 and 14). With your right hand, lower head piece
to the child’s head. Make sure you’re pressing on the child’s hair gently (Arrow 15).
COLUM 51 to 54 should be completed appropriately
SECTION 4B IMMUNIZATION
This module is used to obtain immunization and other information on children one year and
below.
63
Respondent: Mother or care giver of the child
QUESTION 1: This section is for household members that are one year old or younger. If the
household member does not fall in this category then the interviewer should interview another
household member.
QUESTION 2: The ID code of the child's mother should be recorded here. The interviewer to
check the Flap to ensure that the right code is selected.
QUESTION 3: This question seeks to determine if the mother attended prenatal clinic when she
was pregnant with this household member.
QUESTION 4: The code for the place where this child was delivered should be given here. Note
questionnaire correction - missing codes are given below:
HOSPITAL/
MATERNITY....1
CLINIC.......2
AT HOME......3
FAITH BASE
HOME .......4
OTHER,
QUESTION
5: If there were more than one person assisting during the delivery, the interviewer
SPECIFY.....5
should record the one with highest skill e.g. if she said nurse and auxiliary nurse the respondent
is to record option 2 (trained nurse and midwife)
QUESTION 6: Ask if the child was weighed. If the child was weighed, probe to get the weight of
the child. Sometimes the weight is written on the card issued for the baby on the day of
delivery. If the mother cannot remember the birth weight, ask her for the card and record from
the card e.g. if the weight is 3.7kg the interviewer should record it as 3.7 in the space provided.
Birth weight is defined as the weight taken immediately after birth or within the first 24 hours of
life.
For example, where birth is at home and immediately after child is taken to hospital, then this is
assumed to be birth weight. If mother takes child to hospital one day or week later, this is not
weight at birth.
QUESTIONS 7-19: Immunization
Immunization is a way of protecting children against serious diseases. A child who is not vaccinated
is more likely to suffer illness, become permanently disabled or become undernourished and die
Vaccination book or card" refers to any official document (usually a small booklet or folded card)
which indicates among others the child's name, age and the type of vaccinations he or she has ever
received. Inside this booklet or card you will see the number of times the child has been vaccinated
against the illness or disease listed with the dates he received the vaccinations. Sometimes a child
needs more than one vaccination to acquire full immunity. For every disease
A list of vaccines is listed. This can be from mother/caregiver memory. Be careful to probe, as
respondent may not be familiar with the different types of vaccines.
Copy vaccine information from vaccination book or card if provided and record accordingly.
For women who cannot provide their card the interviewer should take his/her time to explain each
vaccine and how it is given. Q11- 19 must not be left blank is either 1 or 2 response

DPT (DIPHTHERIA PERTUSSIS & TETANUS) and POLIO: The first dose of DPT and POLIO
vaccination is given at 6 weeks, the second dose at 10 weeks and the third dose at 14
weeks. This means that those aged between 6 and 9 weeks should have received one
DPT/Polio vaccination while those between the ages of 10 to 13 weeks should have
received two such vaccinations. A child who is 14 weeks and above should have had 3
doses of DPT/Polio to complete this vaccine set. (Note that in some cases the first dose
of this vaccination is given at birth).
MEASLES: The vaccination against measles is given only once at the age of 9 months
although some children receive it at the age of 7 months.
BCG: Easy way to detect if BCG has been administered is a scar on the arm or shoulder,
this Offers partial protection against some forms of tuberculosis and leprosy. BCG
vaccine is also given to the child only once in the first week after birth. Interviewers
must keep in mind the age of the child when recording the responses. E.g. a child that is
6 months and the woman said the baby has been immunize against measles this is not
correct
The mother / care taker is to respond for each child one year and under
BREASTFEEDING
QUESTION 20: If a child is currently breastfed the interviewer should skip to Question 22 but if
the response is NO=2 then Q 21 must be asked
65
QUESTION 21: This question asks if the child has ever been breastfed. Being breastfed’ is
defined as putting the child to the breast at least once a day.
QUESTION 22: The interviewer is to describe first milk to the woman i.e. the yellow breast milk
that comes out immediately after delivery. if the baby does not receive the breast milk i.e. NO
=2 the interviewer is to record 2 and ask Q.23 the reason why the baby did not received it but if
her response is YES =1 skip to Q. 24
QUESTION 24: Exclusive breastfeeding is given a child only breast milk for 6 months without
water, herbal tea, or any liquid except vitamins, medicine or ORT if a child mother’s response is

QUESTION 26: The purpose of these questions is to determine
what liquids or foods the child was given. Make sure that the
respondent understands the question, particularly what is
meant by ‘yesterday, during the day or night’.
If the mother/primary caregiver does not know the answer,
repeat the question using other local words for the fluid or
food. List all that is applicable by using comma to differentiate.
If the answer is 8 (i.e. only breast milk) skip to Q. 28.
QUESTION 27: complementary foods mean any other food
apart from breast milk that was given to the child e.g. liquid
food semi liquid or solid foods. The age should be recorded in
months e.g. if the child started eating it at 7 months the interviewer is to record (7) DO NOT
INCLUDE MONTHS
QUESTION 28: Ask the woman has the child been given anything to drink from bottle with a

SECTION 5: INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT):
RESPONDENTS ARE 10 YEARS AND OLDER
Introduction:
Definition and Concepts:Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is an umbrella term that includes any
communication device or application encompassing: radio, television, cellular phones, computer
and network hardware and software, satellite systems and so on as well as the various services
and applications associated with them, such as video conferencing and distance learning. The
importance of ICT lies less in the technology itself than in its ability to create greater access to
information and communication in underserved populations
Information and Communication Technology (ICT):
Some information and communication equipment have been listed. Ask whether any member of
the household owns or has access to or does not have each of the equipment. No item should
be left blank. It should be noted that the household information on ICT will be used to cross
check the information that will be given on individual household member information on ICT. If
a household owns particular equipment, then it automatically has access, but on the other
hand, the household may have access without necessarily owning the equipment.
QUESTIONS 1 - 3: Ownership, Access and Number of Radio owned:
Find out if respondents personally owned and number owned. Note if not owned verify if
respondents have access. (Print appropriate option i.e. 1 or 2)
QUESTIONS 4 - 7: Ownership, Access, Preferred Three (3) TV stations, and Number of
Television owned: Find out if respondents personally owned and number owned. If not owned
verify if respondents have access. Note if owned or have access ask for preferred 3 TV stations
in order of preference. (Print appropriate option i.e. 1 or 2).
QUESTIONS 8 – 10: Ownership, Access and Number of Mobile Phone owned:
Find out if respondents personally owned and number owned. Note if not owned verify if
respondents have access. (Print appropriate option i.e. 1 or 2).
QUESTIONS 11 - 13: Ownership, Access and Number of Personal Computer owned:
Find out if respondents personally owned and number owned. Note if not owned verify if
respondents have access. (Print appropriate option i.e. 1 or 2).
QUESTIONS 14 - 38: Ownership, Access, Main Source of Access and use of Internet:
Find out if respondents personally owned or have access to internet, source of access and what
he/she uses the internet for. (Print appropriate option i.e. 1 or 2).
NOTE: Ensure all skip instructions are strictly adhered to
67
SECTION 6: REMITTANCES
This section captures information on income of the household through remittance. A
remittance is the transfer of money by a foreign worker to his or her home country.
Remittances contribute to economic growth and to the livelihoods of people worldwide.
Moreover, remittance transfers can also promote access to financial services for the sender and
recipient, thereby increasing financial and social inclusion.
Respondent: The respondent are all household members 10 years and older currently living in
the household.
QUESTION 1: The interview should end for persons that did not receive any monetary (cash) gift
or in-kind (non-cash) gift from abroad in the 12 month period before the interview.
QUESTION 2: Person that received a cash gift from abroad in the past 12 months should
respond with "YES" and provide details about the cash gifts(s) in questions 3 and 4. If no cash
gift was received in the time period, then the response should be "NO" and the interviewer
should skip to question 5 (requires questionnaire correction).
QUESTION 3: The interviewer should record the total value of monetary gift received by the
respondent in Naira currency. All amounts received in Naira over the past year should be added
together to get a total figure. The money that was received in a foreign currency and converted
to Naira should NOT be counted here. Only the money that was given to the respondent in Naira
should be recorded. Amounts written here MUST NOT be written in question 4.
QUESTION 4: You will write down here, the total value of foreign currency cash gift(s) received
over the past 12 months. This must be foreign currency that the respondent received directly
before conversion to Naira. Amounts written here MUST NOT be written in question 3.
QUESTION 5: The interview should end for persons that did not receive any in-kind (non-cash)
gift from abroad in the 12 month period before the interview. NB: If the person received a
monetary gift, there should be a skip to Question 10.
QUESTION 6: This question requires that the respondent identify the in-kind gift that was

consumed in the past 7 days. A complete list of food item has been given in the section and the
household must provide a response about all items on this list.
Respondent: This is Male/female in the household who is responsible for food preparations or
food purchases made by the household in the past 7 days.
QUESTION 1: Ask for each item if the household consumed any of these items during the past 7
days. If the respondent answer is “YES” about any item then code “1” for response of the item.
Otherwise code “2” should be inserted as the response, and no further questions should be ask
for this item, Ask about all items before moving to Question 2.
QUESTION 2: Write the quantity of item consumed and the unit code. For example, if 3 Congo
of guinea corn was consumed by the household within the past 7 days, write 3 under the
Quantity column and code 07 in Unit column.
QUESTION 3- 4: This question seeks to know the quantity of listed items purchased within the
past 7 days. Write the quantity and enter the unit code as appropriate. e.g. if the household
purchased a 4 litter keg of palm oil during the past seven days and this cost 3000 naira, the
interviewer must record 4 under Quantity and code 03 under unit, while the price will be
recorded under QUESTION.4 as 3000. If none of the items was purchased in the past 7 days
write 0 under quantity and leave unit blank, and amount blank and skip to question 5.
NOTE: Interviewer note that it is possible to purchase an item within the past seven days and
not consumed out of the items within the past seven days, but if there is a purchased in the
past seven days the quantity and the price should be captured and written in appropriate
columns
QUESTION 5: Ask from the respondent how much of this [ITEM] consumed came from
purchases made during the past 7 days or before.
QUESTION 6: This seeks to know out of the items consumed how much of it came from own
production (own production is where the household has planted and reap crop and/or raise
animals). Write the quantity and code the unit of the items where applicable, but if NONE
record 0 in the quantity and leave unit blank
QUESTION 7: How much of consumption of this [ITEM] came from gifts and other sources
during the past 7 days
NOTE: This did not include party food and food taken outside the home
The OWN PRODUCTION and GIFT items may not necessarily be past seven days, but the
quantity consumed from the item is in the past seven days
Interviewers should take note of the followings
QUESTIONS 2 must be related to Q5,6 and 7
In case of items in pieces, heaps, etc show the pictures to the respondent and let them
show you the size they have consumed and use it to record the weight
81
Record whatever local unit given to you by the respondent
Check the weight list given to you before you record any weight
All liquid content is expected to be in liters or centiliters, if you have it in milliliters it
should be converted to liters or centiliters. e.g. 500ml is 50cl, 710ml is 71cl , 325ml is
32.5cl
when you are recording for sachets, tins packets etc make sure that the weight is written
as it appears on the content e.g. Bourn vita 450g, butter 250g etc if it is more than one
then you multiply by the quantity, which means if 2 Bourn vita was purchased you will
write 900 under quantity and 02 under unit
When you are reporting in gm do not add decimal point. (0.900g is different 900g)
0.900g is incorrect
If any unit of measurement is mentioned apart from the ones in the options interviewer
should try and find out how many commonly used measurement can be found in it
Example
A family of six consume 3 mudu of millet and purchased 5 mudu at the rate of 200 naira per
mudu, two days prior the interview, but did not consume out of it. 4milk cups was consumed
from the purchased made in July , another one mudu was taken from the previous harvest
season, and one mudu and six cups was consumed from the millet grandma sent to them 2
months ago, all this took place within the last 7 days
Assuming one mudu contains 10 milk cups.
2. This family consumed 3 tubers of yams (two medium size and one large size) and ¼ schnapps
bottle of palm oil all the consumption came from purchases made yesterday the 3 yam cost 500
naira, while the 4 liters of palm oil cost 1500 naira
How will you complete this respondent who consumed the following items in the past 7 days?
Items consumed
price
Sachet peak powdered = 40(purchased)
Peak Chocó powdered = 35
”
1pkt of sugar
= 220 ”
Cowbell powdered
= 450
Peak milk
= 130 ”
One medium butter
= 200 ”
”
½ kilogram of meat (gift)
Fuju milk 500ml (gift)
½ bottle of palm oil (schnapps’ bottle) (own production)
Two kilogram one hundred and fifty gm (2 tubers of yam, from previous harvest season)
82
SECTION 10C: AGGREGATE FOOD CONSUMPTION
This section is divided into two parts:
The first part is on food consumption of household members only, which intends to ask how
many days, in the past 7 days, that the different groups of food items were consumed. This
should include consumption both inside and outside the home.
The second part of the module asks about sharing of meals with persons that are not household
members. The information is collected by age groups (i.e. children between 0 – 5 years, 6 – 15
years and adult between age of 16 – 65 years and people over 65 years old) and covers:•
The total number of days in the past 7 days that food is shared with persons that are not
household members
•
The total number of meals that were shared with these non-household members in the
past 7 days
QUESTION 8: This question captures the number days of all items that were consumed by both
inside and outside the home by all household members during the past 7 days.
You are to record zero if none of food items consumed.
QUESTION 9: Is a leading question that seeks to know if over the past one week (7 days), if
there were people not listed as household members (READ LIST FROM HH ROSTER) eat any
meals in the household. If the respondent answer is “YES” then code “1”, and proceed to
questions 9 and 10, otherwise code “2” and proceed to next section.
QUESTION 10: Seek to know the total number of days in which any meal was shared with
people, while
Question 11 seek t know the total number of meals that were shared over the past 7 days
within specified age range of people, (such as Children 0- 5 years, 6 – 15 years, adults 16 – 65
years and people over 65 years old.
83
84
SECTION 11: NON-FOOD EXPENDITURES
This section relates to general expenditure of the household on non-food items. The section is
sub-divided into four modules. The grouping is done on the basis of items purchased in the past 7
days, one month, 6 months and 12 months. Generally the household reports on the items
purchased and the amount that was paid.
Respondent: These are persons mainly responsible for household purchases. It might not
necessarily be the person who goes to the market but the one who controls the purchases.
Recall Period: The recall period differs from one module to another
The fist module with item code 101-104 uses a 7 days recall period.
The following instructions pertain to the question pairs: 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, and 7 and 8.
The interviewer should ask the respondent if the household has purchased any of these items
during the reference period (i.e. the last 7 days, one month etc.). If Yes, ''1'' should be record as
the response to this question and the total amount spent on this item written in the Second
Question under NAIRA. If No (''2'') i.e. the household did not spend anything on the particular
item during the reference period, skip to the next item. If there is a response of ''1'' to the first
question, then the amount spent must be stated in the second question. The first question
should be asked for all items in the module before moving to the second question.
QUESTIONS 9, 10 and 11 seeks to determine the value of a special group of items that may either
have been purchased or acquired without cost. Question 9 asks if these items were consumed in
the past 12 months. If the item was consumed, the respondent will be asked (in Question 10) to
provide a value of the items consumed during the reference period. Question 11, enquires as to the
amount spent during the reference period in cases where the item was purchased.
NOTE: The amount of items should be recorded in absolute value e.g. if it is one thousand five
hundred. It should be written as 1500. if there is no purchase the interviewer should record 0
under item and leave the amount space blank. Let us consider, this example, if an item cost
1500.40 naira, then round down to 1500 naira.
85
SECTION 12: FOOD SECURITY
Food security refers to the availability of food and one’s access to it. A household is considered

(1) and continue but if it is No, you enter (2) and move to next Section
QUESTION 6: The months of the year is coded from January (1) February (2)……..December (12).
The interviewer is to enter in the column provided for 2011 and 2012. If it occurred more than
once you enter the codes and separate with a coma in both 2011 and 2012.
QUESTION 7: The possible causes are coded from (1) to (9) you are to list them according to the
order of importance in spaces (a), (b), (c) that is 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Example if floods/water logging
is the most possible you enter 8 as number one, inadequate household food stocks due to lack
of farm input 4 enter as number two and food in the market was very expensive 5 is entered as
the third.

87
SECTION 14- SOCIAL SAFETY NETS
Social Safety Nets, or “socioeconomic safety nets”, are non-contributory transfer programs that
seek to prevent the poor or those vulnerable to shocks and poverty from falling below a certain
poverty level. Safety net programs can be provided by the public sector (State and aid donors)
or by the private sector (NGOs, private firms, charities, and informal household transfers).
Safety net transfers include:
Cash transfers
Cash Transfer: These are defined as the provision of assistance in the form of cash to the poor
or to those who face probable risk of falling into poverty in the absence of the transfer. The
main objective of these programs is to increase poor and vulnerable households’ real income.
Food-based programs such as supplementary feeding programs and food stamps,
vouchers, and coupons
Food-based safety net programs support adequate consumption and contribute to improving
nutrition and securing livelihoods. They are different from other safety net programs in that
they are tied to the provision of food, either directly or through cash-like instruments (food
stamps, coupons) that may be used to purchase food.
In-kind transfers such as school supplies and uniforms
This refers to allowances that paid to families with children under a certain age. Transfers can be
in form of subsidies on school uniform or school supplies or children’s goods.
Conditional cash transfers
Conditional cash transfers (CCT) programs provide cash payments to poor households that meet
certain behavioral requirements, generally related to children’s health care and education.
Price subsidies for food, electricity, or public transport
Subsidies guarantee access to essential commodities at prices that consumers can afford.
Public works
Public works programs provide unskilled workers with temporary labor-intensive jobs during
critical times. Public works can include road construction and maintenance, maintenance of
public spaces and buildings, irrigation infrastructure, reforestation and soil conservation. The
output of such programs is twofold: jobs of short duration for work to increase income, and
creation of public goods in the form of new or improved infrastructure.
Fee waivers and exemptions for health care, schooling and utilities
The main objective of fee waivers, exemptions and scholarships is to provide the poor with
financial resources to use public services such as education and health facilities. The program
enables the poor access to free health services.
Safety nets are part of a broader poverty reduction strategy interacting with and working
alongside of social insurance; health, education, and financial services; the provision of utilities
and roads; and other policies aimed at reducing poverty and managing risk.
The safety net as a whole should provide coverage to three rather different groups:The chronic poor: Even in "good times" these households are poor. They have limited access to
income and the instruments to manage risk, and even small reductions in income can have dire
consequences for them.
88
The Transient Poor: This group lives near the poverty line, and may fall into poverty when an
individual household or the economy as a whole faces hard times
Those with special circumstances: Sub-groups of the population for whom general stability and
prosperity alone will not be sufficient. Their vulnerability may stem from disability, discrimination
due to ethnicity, displacement due to conflict, "social pathologies" of drug and alcohol abuse,
domestic violence, or crime. These groups may need special programs to help them attain a
sufficient standard of well-being.
The main objectives of this section are to identify the various safety net programs available.
Safety nets redistribute income to the poorest and most vulnerable with an immediate
impact on poverty and inequality.
To see how safety net programs have been able to impact positively on the future of
households that they otherwise may have missed, e.g. education, health, income
generating opportunities
To what extent have safety net programs succeeded?
Some Definitions:
Supplementary feeding programs provide direct transfer of food to target households or
individuals. The food may be prepared and eaten on site (e.g., in child feeding centers or at
schools), or given as a dry ration to take home. Supplementary feeding is often provided as an
incentive for participation in public services such as primary health care (pre and post-natal and
well-baby care) and education. The most common forms are maternal and child feeding and
school feeding.
School feeding programs encourage children’s enrolment and improve their ability to pay
attention in class. They vary from the provision of breakfast, lunch or a midmorning snack, to a
combination of these. School feeding programs are often integrated with health and nutrition
education, parasite treatment, health screening, and provision of water and sanitation.
Food for work (FFW) programs provides food rations in exchange for a given amount of work
done. FFW programs have long been used to protect households against the decline in
purchasing power that often accompanies seasonal unemployment, drought, and other periodic
disruptions.
Emergency food distribution includes direct provision of food, supplementary feeding for
vulnerable groups, and therapeutic feeding during crises, emergencies and situations in which
people are displaced. These last-resort programs save lives by preventing malnutrition and
morbidity.
Food stamps, vouchers, and coupons are near-cash paper tokens targeted to poor households
that they can use to purchase food at authorized retail locations. Some instruments restrict
households to buying only a few specific foods, while others allow them to purchase any food.
Respondent: This person should preferably be the head of the household. If the head is absent,
then a responsible and knowledgeable adult, preferably the spouse of the household head in
the household should be interviewed. This person should be a member of the household and
must be capable of providing all necessary information.
Other members of the household can help by adding information or details in the questions
concerning themselves.
89
QUESTION 1: This question seeks to find out if the household or any member of the household
has been part of any programs in the past 12 months. The interviewer should ask this question
for all the programs listed before proceeding to ask questions 2-5. The response here is either 1
for yes or 2 for no.
QUESTION 2: The total value of the assistance received from the program is what this question
seeks to find out. There are three forms of assistance listed: cash assistance, food assistance and
other/in-kind assistance. In the food assistance, the amount of food (e.g. 50kg of rice) will be
captured thus: 50 will come under amount and kg will come under unit.
The equivalent amount in cash (Naira) will come under cash value. In other/in-kind assistance,
the equivalent in cash of this assistance is what is captured under cash value.
These are the codes for unit for food assistance:
Kilogram ......... 1
Litre ................. 2
QUESTION 3: Who received this assistance? Is it the entire household or an individual in the
household? The response here is either 1 for entire household or 2 for specific household
members.
QUESTION 4: This question identifies the household member(s) that received the assistance.
The roster ID of member is recorded. Provision has been made for up to five household
members to be recorded where applicable.
QUESTION 5: The respondent is asked the last time the house hold received the assistance. The
month and the year (in four digits) are recorded.
90
SECTION 15A: ECONOMIC SHOCKS
Typically, the word shock is used to describe a surprisingly intense emotional or psychological
reaction to information or an occurrence which may take its toll on the individual or household.
Shock may be an event or happening or a factor that affect the individual or the entire
household negatively economically. The death of the bread winner in a household may have a
negative impact economically on the household. Thus this section seeks to capture events that
may have affected the household over the last five years.
Respondent: This person should preferably be the head of the household. If the head is absent,
then a responsible and knowledgeable adult, preferably the spouse of the household head in
the household should be interviewed. This person should be a member of the household and
must be capable of providing all necessary information.
QUESTION 1: This question seeks to capture whether the household has been affected by
shocks in the past five years. All the shock options in this question are asked and responses
taken before going to answer questions 2-5 for each yes response. The response here is either 1
for yes or 2 for no.
QUESTION 2: This question is to capture the number of times the particular shock occurred in
the past five years.
QUESTION 3: Captures the years the event occurred. The appropriate year(s) is ticked.
QUESTION 4: A ranking should be provided for each shock. The ranking codes are 1, 2 and 3.
Only one rank should be given.
QUESTION 5: The most important consequence of the most recent shock event is recorded
here. There is provision for four of such consequences to be recorded for each shock. The
consequences are coded from 1-22:

QUESTION 6: Who in the household was most affected by these shocks? The person’s roster ID
is captured. Where it is the entire household “98” is recorded.
SECTION 15B- DEATHS
Death is the termination of the biological functions that sustain a living person. The word refers
to the cessation of life of person or persons in the household. Phenomena which commonly
bring about death include, malnutrition, accidents resulting in terminal injury, and disease.
Respondent: This person should preferably be the head of the household. If the head is absent,
then a responsible and knowledgeable adult, preferably the spouse of the household head in
the household should be interviewed. This person should be a member of the household and
must be capable of providing all necessary information.
Other members of the household can help by adding information or details in the questions
concerning themselves.
QUESTION 1: This question seeks to find out if any member of the household died in the last 12
months. The response expected here is 1 for yes or 2 for no. If the response is 2, the interview
for this section ends.
QUESTION 2: The name of the deceased is requested for here if the response in question one is
"YES".
QUESTION 3: What is the sex of the deceased? 1 for male and 2 for female.
QUESTION 4: What was age of person when he/she died? E.g. 50
QUESTION 5: The date of death is asked in this question. This date is captured in double digits
for day, month, and year e.g. 020810.
QUESTION 6: This question seeks to know the cause of death? There are five options to pick

92
CONTACT INFORMATION
This section of the Household questionnaire is very important to the Panel Survey. By virtue of
the Panel Survey, it is required that any respondent that has moved away from the former
residence, must be tracked or followed up as a matter of necessity. Therefore, the interviewers
should obtain the Head of household contact information as requested in the questionnaire such
as:
QUESTION 1: The interviewer should obtain from the head of household, his or her mobile
phone number, or landline/cell phone or both. This would be useful to track him if there is need
to do so in subsequent years.
QUESTIONS 2A-2C: The interviewer should go a step further, to obtain the same information
as above from at most three members of the household. Other information needed is the person’s
name, ID from the household roster, telephone number as requested in the questionnaire. Having
collected contact information on the household members, the interviewer would ask the head of
household to provide two reference persons who can help to trace him (Head of household) if the
need arises.
QUESTIONS 3A1-3A5: We need the following contact information about the two reference
persons: name, relationship to the head of household, telephone number and contact address.
Note that one of the two reference persons must be living in the same village or town with the
Head of the household as requested in the questionnaire. The second of the two reference persons
must be a contact that lives outside the village or town of the head of household. The essence of
the reference person’s information is that this can be used to track the Head of household, if he
moves away in the near future to another place, unknown to the interviewers. These reference
persons should know the household and its members very well to be able to provide information
about the household in the future.

This address is compulsory because neither the head of household nor any member of his
household has a Mobile or Landline telephone. The only alternative available is to collect the
correct address of the head of the household.
94
Tracking of Households
Attrition of the panel households is expected and it is recognized that, if not addressed, this
attrition will increase over time. Some of the common reasons for the attrition of households are:
Household moves from its original location and failure to track the household to the new
location
Household members move to another household, thus altering the composition of
household originally sampled
Household refuses to continue to participate
Death of household member(s)
In the GHS-Panel survey, efforts will be made to prevent attrition that could potentially arise
through households moving from one location to another. These efforts will include:
Collecting tracking information when interviewers visit households during the survey and
discover that they have moved. Household relocation could present as one of two possible
scenarios:
o All members of the household moved together from the original location to a new
location
o All members of the household did not move to the same new location (i.e.
household moved and split)
Tracking of households to their new location
Reintegration of tracked households into the sample for the following visit
In the next visit, a tracking questionnaire will be administered for households that have moved or
moved and split. The tracking questionnaire to be used is presented in the section below.
Administering the Tracking Questionnaire
The tracking Questionnaire (see Appendix 3 ) should be administered when the household is no
longer located at the address where it was found in the previous visit (i.e. Post-Planting, 2012). In
cases where individuals have left the household, this information will be captured in the
household questionnaire, i.e. Section 1: Household Roster question 30.
There are a number of scenarios that could be encountered which could be clear indications that
the household has moved from its original location. These are:
1. The dwelling that was occupied by the household in the previous survey is now vacant
2. The dwelling is now occupied by a completely different household
3. The dwelling previously housing the household no longer exists (i.e. demolished,
converted to a business etc.)
In any of these circumstances, the interviewer should report to the supervisor that it appears that
the household has relocated. The interviewer, under the guidance of the supervisor, should make
efforts to confirm that the household has moved. These efforts will include enquiring from:
neighbors, community members or the leadership of the community, in that order
95
the new occupant of the household, in cases where the dwelling is occupied by a
completely new household. If information is not a available from the occupant of the
dwelling, then persons identified in the categories above should be approached
neighbors, community members or the leadership of the community, in that order in the
case where the dwelling previously occupied by the household no longer exists
The information received about the relocation of the household should be ideally confirmed from
alternate sources in the community. Note, if the household has moved to a location within the
same compound or EA, then the household should be found and the questionnaire
administered; and the relocation (new address) noted in the comments section on page 3 of the
household questionnaire.
If the supervisors and interviewer are satisfied that the household has moved or moved and split,
then:
1. This should be indicated by opening the household questionnaire on page 3 and placing a
'6' as a response to question 1: Status of Questionnaire. No further entry will be made in
the household questionnaire
2. A Tracking Form should be completed for the moved household
The Tracking Form
The Tracking Form consists of three sections:
1. Household Identification
2. Relocated Household Information, and
3. Informant Identification
Section 1: Household Identification
The household identification section (up to QUESTION 9) should be filled from the household
questionnaire that was prepared for the household.
Question 10: should be filled based on information gathered from the community
Section 2: Relocated Household Information
This section collects information about the date and nature of the move.
QUESTION 1: Note how the date should be entered. Effort should be made to get the most detail
i.e. day, month and year. If exact day is not available try to get month and year and if that is not
available enter the year only.
QUESTION 2: If the move is not permanent, then this household has not relocated and we only
need to know the date when the household will be returning (Question 3) and the person(s)
providing the information (Section 3). If the move is permanent then we need to know the type of
relocation.

ENUMERATOR: LIST UP TO TWO SOURCES IN THE NETWORK ROSTER AND THEN COPY THE
NETWORK CODES HERE” If the respondent said, “I got the fertilizer from Mr. Kareem in Wuse
Market, Abuja.” Instead of writing the response raw, go the NETWORK ROSTER and interpret
this information. Then transform the response to the name (Mr. Kareem), Network (local
market-Code 9) and Location (Within the town – Code 4). Note that there is a network code
printed and listed to the left of name which started with N1. This N1 code should be written in
the answer cell as response to the question.
In another question, the response in the interview may be that he sold crops to Mr. Kareem.
Check the network roster to identify that Mr. Kareem in Wuse market has code N1. This N1 code
could be repeated since the sources are from the same person.
Assume that the third question was SECTION 11I-Question 23 “who was your main provider for
the vaccination services? ENUMERATOR: LIST UP TO TWO SOURCES IN THE NETWORK ROSTER
AND THEN COPY THE NETWORK
CODES HERE”. If the response was the vaccination services obtained from Name (Moba LGA),
Network (Government –code 17) and Location (Within the state –code 6). This would be written
in the second line of the Network Roster against N2. Pick N2 as the Network code to be fixed
into the appropriate column(s) in question 23 mentioned above.
