Series Information
The 2010.2011 Tanzania National Panel Survey (NPS) is the second in a series of nationally representative household panel surveys that collect information on a wide range of topics including agricultural production, non-farm income generating activities, consumption expenditures, and a wealth of other socio-economic characteristics. Both the first and second rounds of the Tanzania NPS were implemented by the Tanzania National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). The first round of the survey was conducted over twelve months from October 2008 to September 2009. The main fieldwork of the second round of the Tanzania NPS started in October 2010 and completed in September 2011, with specialized tracking teams remaining in the field until November 2011.
Abstract
The main objective of the Tanzania NPS is to provide high-quality household-level data to the Tanzanian government and other stakeholders for monitoring poverty dynamics, tracking the progress of the Mkukuta poverty reduction strategy1, and to evaluate the impact of other major, national-level government policy initiatives. As an integrated survey covering a number of different socioeconomic factors, it compliments other more narrowly focused survey efforts, such as the Demographic and Health Survey on health, the Integrated Labour Force Survey on labour markets, the Household Budget Survey on expenditure, and the National Sample Census of Agriculture. Secondly, as a panel household survey in which the same households are revisited over time, the Tanzania NPS allows for the study of poverty and welfare transitions and the determinants of living standard changes

Sampling

Sampling Procedure
The sample design for the second round of the NPS revisits all the households interviewed in the first round of the panel, as well as tracking adult split-off household members. The original sample size of 3,265 households was designed to representative at the national, urban/rural, and major agro-ecological zones. The total sample size was 3,265 households in 409 Enumeration Areas (2,063 households in rural areas and 1,202 urban areas). It is also be possible in the final analysis to produce disaggregated poverty rates for 4 different strata: Dar es Salaam, other urban areas on mainland Tanzania, rural mainland Tanzania, and Zanzibar.

Since the NPS is a panel survey, the second round of the fieldwork revisits all households originally interviewed during round one. If a household has moved from its original location, the members were interviewed in their new location. If that location was within one hour of the original location, the field team did the interview at the time of their visit to the enumeration area. If the household had located more than an hour from the original location, details of the new location were recorded on specialized forms, and the information passed to a dedicated tracking team for follow-up.

If a member of the original household had split from their original location to form or join a new household, information was recorded on the current whereabouts of this member. All adult former household members (those over the age of 15) were tracked to their new location. Similar to the protocol for the re-located households, if the new household is within one hour of the original location, the new household was interviewed by the main field team at the time of the visit to the enumeration area. For those that have moved more than one hour away, their information was passed to the dedicated tracking team for follow-up. Once the tracking targets have been found, teams are required to interview them and any new members of the household.

The total sample size for the second round of the NPS has a total sample size of 3924 households. This represents 3168 round-one households, a re-interview rate of over 97 percent. In addition, of the 10,420 eligible adults (over age 15 in 2010), 9,338 were re-interviewed, a re-interview rate of approximately 90 percent.
Deviations from the Sample Design
The total sample size for the second round of the NPS has a total sample size of 3924 households. This represents 3168 round one household, a re-interview rate of over 97 percent. In addition, of the 10,420 eligible adults (over age 15 in 2010), 9,338 were re-interviewed, a re-interview rate of approximately 90 percent. To obtain the attrition adjustment factor the probability that a sample household was successfully re-interviewed in the second round of surveys is modelled with the linear logistic model at the level of the individual. A binary response variable is created by coding the response disposition for eligible households that do not respond in the second round as 0, and households that do respond as 1.
Response Rate
Approximately 95 percent
Weighting
The weights are developed following these steps:

1) Begin with the “base weights” or those calculated during the first round of the survey; The panel weight calculations are based on the 2008/2009 household weights. These weights are based on the inverse probability of selection, EA level non-response correction, trimming of outlier weights, and a post-stratification correction11. These probability weights form the first component of the 2010-2011 calculations.
W1=W2008

2) Incorporate fair-share weights for composition changes;
Based on the tracking protocols, the tracking for split off rules for the Tanzania NPS allow for the incorporation of people who now live with original sample members. For example, a young adult living with his parents in 2008, may be 2010 have formed a new household, getting married and having a child. The wife and infant will be incorporated into the survey and thus require a probability of selection. Such corrections are routinely used to distribute weight to new sample members in panel surveys.

3) derive attrition adjusted weights for all individuals, including split-off10 households, then aggregate these weights to the household level; All household panel surveys must tackle the problem of attrition, sample members selected for follow interview which cannot be located and/or interviewed.

4) post-stratify the pooled weights to known population totals.

Data Processing

Data Editing
CSPro-based data entry/editing system was used. A cross comparison between the entered values in the field based data entry and double entry was conducted and any differences in values between the two were flagged for manual inspection of the physical questionnaire. Corrections based on this inspection exercise were ultimately encoded in the dataset.

Additionally, an extensive review of data files was conducted, including interviewer errors such as missing values, ranges and outliers. Observations were returned for manual inspection of the physical questionnaires if continuous values fell outside five standard deviations of the mean, categorical values were not eligible responses, or there were internal inconsistencies within the dataset (for example, the age of an individual was not consistent with their educational status, there was more than one head of household listed, an individual was engaged in multiple primary activities, the quantity of crops and their by-products produced, harvested, and sold not listed, the distance from the market and an individual's plot was not listed, the number of weeks, days per week, and hours per day an individual engaged in fishery activity was not recorded, the species and quantity of fish caught, bought, sold, or traded was not listed, etc). When it was determined that these values were the result of data-entry error, the values were corrected. In addition, cases deemed to reflect obvious enumerator error were also corrected in this cleaning process. The majority of such cases involved the use of incorrect measurement units, e.g. recording grams as kilograms or vice versa.

Data Appraisal

Estimates of Sampling Error
To reduce the overall standard errors, and weight the population totals up to the known population figures, a post-stratification correction is applied. Based on the projected number of households in the urban and rural segments of each region, adjustment factors are calculated. This correction also reduces overall standard errors.
Data Appraisal
The estimated logistic model is used to obtain a predicted probability of response for each household member in the 2010/2011 survey. These response probabilities were then aggregated to the household level (by calculating the mean), the using the household-level predicted response probabilities as the ranking variable, all households are ranked into 10 equal groups (deciles). An attrition adjustment factor was then defined as the reciprocal of the empirical response rate for the household-level propensity

Then a logistic response propensity model is fitted, using 2005 UNHS household and individual characteristics measured in the first wave as covariates. In a few limited cases, values of unit level variables were missing from the 2008/2009 household dataset. These values were imputed using multivariate regression and logistic regression techniques. Imputations are done using the 'impute' command in Stata at the level of the UNPS strata (urban/rural and region). Overall, less than one percent of the variables required imputation to replace missing values.
