Methodological modality for conducting the census\nThe CA 2004-2008 adopted a modular approach, with a core module and nine supplementary\/thematic modules.\n\nii. Frame\nThe main source of sampling frame consisted in the EAs from the Population Census (PC) 2001. Approximately 7 500 out of 8 000 EAs were included. The PC also provided the list of households involved in agricultural activities. In addition, the livestock frame included all known water points and transhumant routes.\n\niii.Complete and\/or sample enumeration method(s)\nA complete enumeration of households within the 7 465 EAs from the PC which engaged in agricultural activity was done to identify agricultural households.\nThe supplementary\/thematic modules were conducted using sample enumeration. \n\niv. Sample design \nA stratified two-stage sampling design was used for the supplementary\/thematic modules. The 36 departments served as strata. A sample was then drawn at the departmental level. The EAs were the PSUs and households were the SSUs, and were selected at EA level with an equal probability. According to the module, relevant samples of EAs were designed. In total, approximately 13 000 households were selected for the crop production module and 12 000 households for the animal production module.","coll_mode":"Face-to-face [f2f]","cleaning_operations":"1. DATA PROCESSING AND ARCHIVING\nData entry, editing and imputation were undertaken using the CSPro software.
