RWANDA - Agriculture Household Survey 2024

The 2024 AHS employed a national representative subsample of 600 derived from the 1,674 EICV7
enumeration areas (EAs). The 600 EAs were allocated to districts proportionally to the total number of
agricultural households in each district based on the Rwanda Population and Housing Census (RPHC-2022)
data.

Within each district, the EICV7 urban and rural sample EAs were combined for the AHS sample selection to
provide a corresponding implicit stratification. Then the number of samples EAs for each district was selected
with probability proportional to size (PPS) from the EICV7 sample EAs for that district, where the measure of
size was equal to the number of agricultural households in each sample EA from the 5th Rwanda Population
and Housing Census,2022 (RPHC5) data. This approach ensured a higher sampling probability to the sample
EAs with a higher number of agricultural households.

Following the selection of households for the EICV7, all of the EICV7 selected households within the AHS 2024
sampled clusters that were identified as agricultural households were included in the AHS 2024 sampled for
the clusters. Therefore, the number of sample agricultural households interviewed for the AHS varied.


The subsampling probability was based on the PPS selection of the AHS sample EAs from the EICV7 sample
EAs within each district, where the measure of size was based on the number of agricultural households
in the sample EA from the RPHC5 frame
