Income/Expenditure/Household Survey [hh/ies]
The first Monitoring Survey commenced from August 1993 and ended in February 1994.It was followed by the Second Monitoring Survey (SMS) which lasted between September 1994 to May 1995.
The Second Monitoring Survey (SMS) was envisioned as a periodic annual survey which was conducted to monitor the effects of the structural adjustment programs as well as to provide time series data to measure economic growth and social development. The survey was conducted by the Statistics Department of the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development from September 1994 to May 1995. The specific objectives of the survey are:
- To provide integrated socio- economic data needed to monitor the effects of the adjustment programs at the household level.
- To provide time-series data and measure economic growth and social development.
- To examine to feasibility of getting reliable estimates of production of crops through enquiry method at a much lesser cost than known objective methods.
- To continue efforts in building permanent national household survey capability in the Statistics Department.

Sampling
The sampling design of UNHS, 1994-95 (SMS) was basically 'Stratified Multi-Stage Sampling', similar to that used in the previous surveys. Each district was a stratum with further sub-stratification as district town, other urban areas and rural areas.
There were a total of 102 strata. In those districts where formation of Enumeration Areas (EAs) with the mapping exercise had been completed during the 1991 Population Census, a two-stage design with EAs as the first stage unit (FSU) and with 'households' as the second stage unit (SSU) was adopted.
EAs in these districts were selected with probability proportional to number of households (PPS) and households were selected on the basis of simple random sampling after preparing lists of households in the selected EAs.
In other districts where EAs were not formed and not mapped, a three stage sampling design was adopted with a parish as the FSU, LCl as the SSU and a household as the third or ultimate stage unit. Parishes were selected with probability proportional to the number of households but LC1s and households were selected on the basis of simple random sampling. More details of the sampling design and the estimation procedure used are given in the Main Report.
The estimates derived from a sample survey are subject to sampling and non-sampling errors. Sampling errors arise from the fact that the estimates have been obtained from the information collected from some units and not from all the units of the universe.
Non-sampling errors arise from various sources such as defective sampling frame, ambiguity in definitions and procedures of data collection and tabulation errors. Similar to earlier surveys, efforts were made while planning the Second Monitoring Survey to minimize both sampling and non- sampling errors.
Sampling errors were minimized by using an appropriate sampling design including stratification at various stages. The estimates of sampling errors of some of the results are given in the following paragraph.
Non-sampling errors, however, were not measured but controlled by adopting a number of quality control procedures, namely:
(a) Re-checking the lists of first stage units i.e. Enumeration Areas (EAs), their maps and the 1991 Census data on the number of households and procuring up-to-date lists of LC1s in districts for which EAs were not mapped;
(b) Strengthening and intensifying training of all staff involved in the survey through a clear and detailed Manual of Instructions;
(c) Introducing closer supervision of field work;
(d) Undertaking more detailed scrutiny of filled-in questionnaires at the field level as well as at head-quarters;
(e) Introducing complete verification of data entry, and undertaking careful post-tabulation scrutiny; and
(t) Checking tabulations for consistency (both internal and external).
