Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The sampling frame used to select 2012 Rwanda FinScope Survey was provided by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR). This is the one which was used to select EICV3 sample.
The first level of sampling was conducted at Enumeration Area (EA) level. A sample of EAs was drawn using a "probability proportion to size" approach. For the 2012 survey 615 EAs were selected ensuring urban-rural, as well as, district representativeness.
The second level of sampling was conducted at household level. During this sampling stage, a sample of households was selected at random from the households in each of the sampled EAs. In order to achieve this sample for each EA, the sampling process involved visiting each sampled EA and drawing up a list of all households in the EA. For the purpose of the 2012 survey, a sample of ten households was drawn at random from the compiled household list for each EA.
The third level of sampling was conducted at individual level. For the purpose of the 2012 survey, one individual (i.e. the intended respondent) was selected at random from all individuals 16 years or older in each of the sampled households in the EA.
Weighting
The data was weighted (taking into account the three levels of sampling) in order for the data to represent the Rwandan population 16 years or older.
