Data Collection Notes
The field work started with listing operation where two lists were completed: a list of EA boundaries and roads and list of housing units and households, the later list was considered a basis for monitoring the fieldwork on a daily basis. The listing operation was finalized in the first three days, while the entire fieldwork period extended to slightly more than two weeks. The PES reference date is the night of 22/23 of September 2012. Quality checks of completed questionnaires have been performed on a continuous basis and by different levels of field personnel including field editor, team leader and zonal supervisor. On the basis of the household list, the response rate of listed households exceeds 99 percent at the national level.
Questionnaires
The PES questionnaire has been designed in conformity to procedure C of coverage analysis (see the final report P3). It is also consistent with the Dejure enumeration basis of the 2012 Population and Housing Census. It includes information needed to estimate non-movers, in-movers, out-movers, correct enumeration and erroneous enumeration. Provisions are made to record the result of matching operation.
Concerning content analysis, the questionnaire comprises several census data items that are compared with collected Census data in order to measure the extent of variability between PES responses and the corresponding census responses. These data items include sex, age, marital status and the ability to read and write in any or more of several languages. At the household level, information on the type of bathing facility has also been collected. It is worth noting that the definitions and categories of selected census variables used in the PES are identical to that applied in the Census. In addition to the cover page containing identification data, the questionnaire is organized into four sections: the first deals with non-movers and inmovers, while the second is devoted to out-movers, the third handles information on correct/erroneous enumeration. The last section is designated to the type of bathing facility available to the household. The questionnaire has been designed to be compatible with the recommendation of the UN Statistical Division: Post Enumeration Surveys, Operational guidelines- April 2010.

The Country has been segmented into above zones depending on the sample size and its spread inside the zone. The field work started with listing operation where two lists were completed: a list of EA boundaries and roads and list of housing units and households, the later list was considered a basis for monitoring the fieldwork on a daily basis. The listing operation was finalized in the first three days, while the entire fieldwork period extended to slightly more than two weeks.
