Face-to-face [f2f]
A first draft questionnaire prepared by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) was submitted to the Census Technical Committee for amendment before its approval by the National Census Commission. This version of the questionnaire and related manuals were tested during a Pilot Census in 2011. Lessons learnt allowed the NISR to finalize the questionnaire, containing 77 variables, and modify the manuals accordingly. The latest version of the questionnaire was subject to the approval of the National Census Commission prior to its administration to households. The questionnaires used to collect data were of two types: a private household questionnaire and an institutional questionnaire.

Since the sample is self weighted the user may produce estimates (percentages, averages, ratios) using the data directly (un-weighted). However the weighted analysis must be followed if the user is interested in estimating totals, e.g. Total number of population in each province. Data analysis can be done up to the district level only using this public use sample of 2012 census.
