24. In this question you are to ask the respondent his place (district) of residence 12 months ago and whether that place was an urban or a rural area. This is not over the duration of the last 12 months; rather it is about this time 12 months back, i.e in August the previous year.

25. Write the name of the district in which this person was residing 12 months ago and then enter the appropriate code in the boxes provided. This can either be the district where he is now residing or another district. In case the person lived outside Zambia 12 months ago, write the name of the country where he was residing at that time and then enter the appropriate country code. For infants born less than 12 months ago, enter 888 in the boxes.

26. Find out whether the place where the person was living 12 month, ago was a rural or an urban area. Enter code -1' for rural or code '2' for urban area. The list of urban areas and townships is given in Appendix 3 on page 89. For infants born less than 12 months ago and for those who were living outside Zambia at that time enter 8 in the box provided..

27. If a person is not sure of the district, then ask him the name of the Chief in whose area he was/is living. From this information you can find out the name of the district (see Appendix 2 on page 79).
