Sampling
i. Methodological modality for conducting the census
The GCA 2015 was integrated with the PHC 2015. The census modality used was the classical approach.
ii. Frame
The cartography phase of the two censuses delineated and digitized the boundaries of each village community (CV) in rural areas and neighbour community (CP) in urban areas. EAs were delineated within each CV/CP and EA maps were prepared for data collection. The census cartography used high-resolution satellite images covering the entire territory. The PHC 2015 provided the list of households, identified during the census, that engaged in own-account agricultural activity.
iii. Complete and/or sample enumeration methods
The data collection was carried out on a complete enumeration basis.
iv. Sample design
No sampling was applied.
