Individual Food Consumption/Dietary Survey [hh/ifcs]
The objective of the survey was to assess the prevalence and spread of macro and micronutrient deficiencies and to determine the nutritional status and nutrient intakes of rural populations in Zambia. The data was needed to provide information on food consumption patterns and nutritional status to inform policy and programming. The survey was conducted in two provinces, Luapula and Northern.

Sampling
The primary sampling unit for the survey was a Standard Enumeration Area (SEA), or cluster, as demarcated by the Zambia Population and Housing Census of 2010. A two-stage procedure was used to select the sample. In the first stage, the SEAs for each sub-county (CSA) were selected with a probability proportional to their size (PPS). In the second stage, households with the eligible pair of individuals (mother/child) were selected on-the-spot: first taking the random selection of a direction from the center of the cluster; then the random selection of the first household in the selected direction; and finally selection of subsequent households by proximity.
No survey weights were used in this survey.
