The statistical unit used in the GCA 2015 was the agricultural holding, defined as "an economic unit of agricultural production comprising all livestock kept, all land used partially or totally for agricultural production without regard to title, legal form or size, under the single management exercised by one or more individuals in the household, jointly by two or more individuals in different households". Only the agricultural holdings in the household sector ("agricultural households") were covered in the CA.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
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.
