The Survey was designed to describe the levels, trends and determinants of human fertility in the country and to provide other important demographic information.

The questionnaires are modelled after the WFS questionnaires and consist of a household schedule, a detailed individual questionnaire for all women aged 15 to 50 and a questionnaire for a sub-sample of the husbands of interviewed women.

The sample consists of 100 sampling units (districts) and was designed to produce an average of 60 households per sampling unit with an average of one eligible woman per household.
